# SSO configuration

First, admin has [to order as many SSO licenses as many users will use Hideez Authenticator](https://enterprise.hideez.com/hideez-enterprise-server/single-sign-on-settings/how-to-get-employee-licenses).

Administrators can log into the Server service and use the SSO service by default, but employees with user accounts cannot, so they first must have an explicit permission of the administrator:

1. Select an employee and click the 'Edit' button.
2. Then click the 'Enable SSO' button at the opened page to give the permission.

If you want to require Hideez Authenticator as a second factor, check the "Required Two Factor Authentication" box and then click the "Enable" button.

If you want to allow user use **passwordless authentication** with the Hideez Authenticator, ***don't do it***, just click "Enable" button.

Also you can enable SSO and second-factor for user during the employee creation on the "Single Sign On" step:
