How to Require Authentication through SSO

In some surveys, you may want to require respondents to log in using the university’s single sign-on (SSO) to take a survey or to capture information about them, such as name or email address.  

NOTE:  The “Preview Survey” and the “Look and Feel” function do not work with the Authenticator active. Make sure to do all survey testing before adding authentication. Also, make sure to test authentication and results before sending out the survey.

  1. From the Survey tab, click Survey Flow.
