Just-in-time provisioning
Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning creates a Grovo account for users during their first SSO attempt, so you don't have to do it manually for each user. Grovo automatically enables JIT while configuring SAML.
Test the SAML connection
- Return to the Zoho Directory Admin Panel.
- Go to Applications, then click Grovo.
- Click Assign Users, choose yourself from the list, then click Assign.
- Click on the icon next to the app's name. If everything is working, you should be automatically signed in and taken to Grovo's homepage.
