3.10. SAML User Login Redirects to Portal Instead of Admin Workspace

Updated: May 23 2022, 11:20 AM

When SAML authentication is enabled HelpSpot will search the "Black Box/LDAP/AD/SAML Username" field of the staff profiles to find a matching profile. If no matching profile is found, the user will be redirected back to the customer portal.

To correct this issue follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Admin > Staff  and select the staff member.
2. Update or add the correct "Black Box/LDAP/AD/SAML Username" value to that account. In most cases this will be the users email address.
