Who may get in, and who decides? With single sign-on your own identity provider decides (Entra ID, Google, Okta, Keycloak …): whoever leaves there can no longer get into Flow either. You connect the provider to your organisation in the portal, under Security and sign-in, and see how a colleague on your domain is sent there when signing in.

Step 1 / 10

Open Security and sign-in

Click your organisation's name at the top left and choose Security and sign-in; only owners see this. At Signing in through your company, choose Connect. On the right, step by step, is how to register Flow in Entra ID, with the redirect address you fill in there.

  1. Click De Wit Bikes
Open Security and sign-in · Click De Wit Bikes

Step 2 / 10

Fill in your provider's details

The issuer URL is your provider's address; Flow reads the OpenID configuration there and refuses an address without a provider. Client ID and client secret come from the app registration; the secret can only be written, never read back.

  1. In Issuer URL, type http://127.0.0.1:60997/idp
  2. In Client ID, type flow-portal
  3. In Client secret, type ••••••••
Fill in your provider's details · In Issuer URL, type http://127.0.0.1:60997/idp; In Client ID, type flow-portal; In Client secret, type ••••••••
Step 3 / 10

Choose the domains and who may come in

People with an email address on these domains sign in through the provider; the provider handles two-step verification. Working at your organisation is not access yet: choose Only people who were invited and invite people under People. Only when really everyone needs Flow do you let in the whole domain — everyone then counts on the invoice.

  1. In Email domains, type dewit-bikes.com
Choose the domains and who may come in · In Email domains, type dewit-bikes.com
  1. Click Only people who were invited You invite people under People. Recommended.

Step 4 / 10

Prove the domain is yours

Flow only sends people to your provider once DNS shows the domain belongs to your organisation; that way nobody else can claim your domain. Below the form is a TXT record: set it at your DNS provider (click the name or the value to copy it) and choose Check. Until then nobody signs in through this domain.

Prove the domain is yours · The TXT record for your domain, not proven yet.
  1. Click Check
Prove the domain is yours · Click Check
Prove the domain is yours · Proven: from now on your domain signs in through your provider.

Step 5 / 10

Whoever was not invited does not get in

Piet works at your company and signs in at the provider just fine. But he was not invited: the portal does not let him in and says why. Nothing of him is kept.

Whoever was not invited does not get in · ‘You have not been invited to this organisation yet.’
Step 6 / 10

This is how a colleague signs in

Anna was invited. She types her work email address on the sign-in screen. The portal recognises the domain and immediately offers to continue with your organisation's sign-in: no Flow password, no second code from Flow.

  1. In Email address, type anna@dewit-bikes.com
This is how a colleague signs in · In Email address, type anna@dewit-bikes.com
This is how a colleague signs in · The button ‘Continue with dewit-bikes.com sign-in’.
  1. Click Continue with dewit-bikes.com sign-in
This is how a colleague signs in · Click Continue with dewit-bikes.com sign-in
Step 7 / 10

Signing in at the provider

The colleague lands on your provider's sign-in page, with the email address already filled in, and signs in there as always: with the provider's password and two-step verification. Flow sees neither.

Signing in at the provider · The email address is already there.
  1. In Name, type Anna de Wit
Signing in at the provider · In Name, type Anna de Wit
  1. Click Sign in
Signing in at the provider · Click Sign in
Step 8 / 10

Back in the portal, already a member

The provider sends Anna back to the portal, which checks the sign-in and uses her invitation: she gets an account and is a member of your organisation straight away, with the role from the invitation.

Back in the portal, already a member · De Wit Bikes, with the role Colleague.
Step 9 / 10

Also people in a group

Inviting everyone separately is a lot of work when a whole department uses Flow. Then choose, under Security and sign-in, ‘Also people in a group of your identity provider’ and name the group (the name or object ID from Entra ID, or an app role), with the role the group gives. Invited people still come in; the rest of the company does not.

  1. Click Also people in a group of your identity provider For example the group Flow user
Also people in a group · Click Also people in a group of your identity provider For example the group Flow user
  1. In Name or ID of group 1, type Flow-gebruikers
Also people in a group · In Name or ID of group 1, type Flow-gebruikers
Also people in a group · The role for people in the group: Colleague.
  1. Click Save
Also people in a group · Click Save
Step 10 / 10

A colleague from the group comes in

Kees was not invited, but is in the group Flow-gebruikers. He signs in at the provider and is a member straight away, with the group's role. If he leaves the group, he loses access at his next sign-in; if you remove the group here, at once.

  1. In Groups (optional, comma-separated), type Flow-gebruikers
