# Azure Active Directory SSO integration with Canva
18+
19+
In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Canva with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Canva is your photo editor, video editor, and graphic design tool all in one app. Create stunning social media posts, videos, cards, flyers, photo collages & more. When you integrate Canva with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to Canva.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Canva with their Azure AD accounts.
23+
* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
24+
25+
You'll configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for Canva in a test environment. Canva supports **IDP** initiated single sign-on and **Just In Time** user provisioning.
26+
27+
## Prerequisites
28+
29+
To integrate Azure Active Directory with Canva, you need:
30+
31+
* An Azure AD user account. If you don't already have one, you can [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
32+
* One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
33+
* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
34+
* Canva single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
35+
36+
## Add application and assign a test user
37+
38+
Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Canva application from the Azure AD gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.
39+
40+
### Add Canva from the Azure AD gallery
41+
42+
Add Canva from the Azure AD application gallery to configure single sign-on with Canva. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the [Quickstart: Add application from the gallery](../manage-apps/add-application-portal.md).
43+
44+
### Create and assign Azure AD test user
45+
46+
Follow the guidelines in the [create and assign a user account](../manage-apps/add-application-portal-assign-users.md) article to create a test user account in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
47+
48+
Alternatively, you can also use the [Enterprise App Configuration Wizard](https://portal.office.com/AdminPortal/home?Q=Docs#/azureadappintegration). In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane in the Azure portal. [Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.](/microsoft-365/admin/misc/azure-ad-setup-guides).
49+
50+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
51+
52+
Complete the following steps to enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal.
53+
54+
1. In the Azure portal, on the **Canva** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
55+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
56+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, select the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
57+
58+
![Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.](common/edit-urls.png "Basic Configuration")
59+
60+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, the user does not have to perform any step as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.
61+
62+
1. Your Canva application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows an example for this. The default value of **Unique User Identifier** is **user.userprincipalname** but Canva expects this to be mapped with the user's object id. For that you can use **user.objectid** attribute from the list or use the appropriate attribute value based on your organization configuration and select Name identifier format as **Persistent** from the dropdown.
63+
64+
![Screenshot shows the image of custom attribute mappings.](common/default-attributes.png "Image")
65+
66+
1. On the **Set-up single sign-on with SAML** page, in the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, find **Certificate (Base64)** and select **Download** to download the certificate and save it on your computer.
67+
68+
![Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.](common/certificatebase64.png "Certificate")
69+
70+
1. On the **Set up Canva** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
71+
72+
![Screenshot shows to copy configuration appropriate URL.](common/copy-configuration-urls.png "Metadata")
73+
74+
## Configure Canva SSO
75+
76+
To configure single sign-on on **Canva** side, you need to send the downloaded **Certificate (Base64)** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [Canva support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
77+
78+
### Create Canva test user
79+
80+
In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Canva. Canva supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Canva, a new one is commonly created after authentication.
81+
82+
## Test SSO
83+
84+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
85+
86+
* Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Canva for which you set up the SSO.
87+
88+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Canva tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Canva for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see [Introduction to the My Apps](../user-help/my-apps-portal-end-user-access.md).
89+
90+
## Additional resources
91+
92+
* [What is single sign-on with Azure Active Directory?](../manage-apps/what-is-single-sign-on.md)
93+
* [Plan a single sign-on deployment](../manage-apps/plan-sso-deployment.md).
94+
95+
## Next steps
96+
97+
Once you configure Canva you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. [Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Cloud App Security](/cloud-app-security/proxy-deployment-aad).
