- Select ADD GROUP.
- Select SSO Manager.
- Select the green plus sign in the bottom right corner.

Configuring Egnyte for Single Sign On
- Log in to the Egnyte Admin console, and navigate to the Configuration tab.

- Select a User to view their details
- Select Profile from the left menu
- Change their Authentication to SSO
- Enter their AuthAnvil On Demand principal name as the IdP Username

To verify, have the user sign in. They should be redirected to AuthAnvil On Demand after entering their Egnyte username or email address, and begin the authentication process.
