Who is this feature for?
This feature is designed for users or teams who need to ensure secure access to their files, particularly those that must be protected behind Single Sign-On (SSO).
What is their goal?
The primary goal is to allow users to share files securely via a link, ensuring that anyone who tries to access the file must first log in to the platform through SSO. This eliminates the need for the file owner to manage access permissions manually, as the SSO authentication ensures that only authorized individuals can view the file.
What value will this add?
- Enhanced Security: Files shared with “SSO required” enabled will only be accessible to authenticated users, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Simplified Access Management: Users can share files without the burden of manually granting or revoking access, relying instead on the SSO system to control access.
- Consistency with Existing Features: This functionality would align with existing systems like articles in the Knowledge Base, which also require SSO for access.
Example of Similar Implementation
Knowledge Base articles can be configured to require SSO for access. This feature would extend a similar capability to file sharing, allowing users to enable “SSO required” for individual files.
