In these cases, users do not need to choose between different login options before accessing equipme. Direct SSO login links can be used to send users straight to the correct login flow. Instead of opening equipme first and selecting a login method manually, the link already includes the selected single sign on provider. For example: `https://app.equipme.io/sso?provider=microsoft` This link starts the login process directly with Microsoft as the single sign on provider. ### When to use direct SSO login links Direct SSO login links are useful when users access equipme from another system or communication channel. Common examples include internal help pages, intranet pages, onboarding instructions, customer communications or other systems that link users back to equipme. In these situations, the login method is usually already known. The direct login link gives users a clear entry point and guides them into the correct authentication flow. ### Benefits for users Direct SSO login links reduce the number of decisions users need to make during login. Users do not have to select a provider manually. They can access equipme through the login method that already matches their company setup. This makes the entry into equipme clearer, especially for users who only access equipme through internal links or predefined workflows. ### Benefits for admins and partners Admins and partners can use direct SSO login links wherever they want to guide users into equipme from a specific context. This can make internal documentation, support instructions and customer communication easier to follow, because the link already points to the intended login path. Direct SSO login links are therefore a simple way to create a more guided access experience for users. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
