Single sign-on (SSO)
Single sign-on (SSO) is a login method that lets staff use one work account to sign in to many applications, instead of keeping a separate password for each. The applications trust a central identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace, which checks who the person is, usually with multi-factor authentication, and passes that confirmation on using a standard such as SAML or OpenID Connect. For a firm, SSO means one place to enforce password and MFA rules, and one switch to remove access when someone leaves. It also ties each person's use of a tool, such as a business AI plan, to a firm-managed account rather than a personal one.

Example
In a law firm
When a 20-person law firm sets up a business AI plan, it connects the plan to Microsoft Entra ID, the identity service behind its Microsoft 365 accounts. Staff sign in with their usual work login and MFA prompt. When a solicitor leaves, disabling their Microsoft 365 account also stops them signing in to the AI tool, with no separate account to find and close.
