:tada: **You have enabled Okta SSO authentication for Vectice!**
Now, when users log in to Vectice, they will see an option to login with Okta SSO below the password field.
With SSO enabled, you have a few options:
* You can disable password authentication if you want users to only login via SSO
* You can enable the ability for users to automatically receive a Vectice account from their SSO provider (auto-provisioning)
* You can set up the roles in Okta if they want more fine-tuning on this level.
