Connect your identity provider

That's a good point to start tracking your software stack and activities per each of your team members. 

Simple actions to kick off:

1. Sign in to your spendbase account
   
2. Navigate to Integrations tab
3. Connect your Google/Microsoft workspace
   

IMPORTANT:

To unlock full capabilities with Spendbase, it's crucial to connect your identity provider using an admin account. This ensures a seamless retrieval of app information and user activity data. Without an admin connection, you'll miss out on these insights.

Benefits of Admin-Level SSO Connection:

1. Instant Setup: Connections complete in seconds.
2. Unified Tracking: Monitor all member activities in one go.

How It Works:

By linking Spendbase to your identity provider (like Google Workspace), we automatically gather data on all SaaS platforms accessed via corporate accounts. This process doesn't capture activity linked to personal emails, maintaining privacy while offering a clear view of corporate software use.

Why It Matters:

This connection provides the simplest method for conducting a thorough SaaS audit, revealing which apps are in use, by whom, and how frequently. If you ever need to, disconnecting the IdP from Spendbase is straightforward, giving you full control over your data sharing preferences.
