When you create a new child organization, a subdomain is automatically created and single sign-on (SSO) is enabled, allowing you to sign in to the child organization without having to provide separate credentials.

When you open the details of a child organization, a link to the child organization appears under **Basic Details**. When you click the link, you are automatically signed in to the child organization.

122+
Automatic sign-in works because when you created the child organization, a [subdomain](#set-up-a-customsubdomain) was automatically added, and SSO was enabled by default. As a result, you are already provisioned as a user in the child organization and can access it at any time without needing to log in.

* By default, the `Administrator` role is used for on-demand user provisioning in child organizations. So when a user from a parent organization signs in to a child organization using the SSO option, they are provisioned with `Administrator` access.
151+
* If you want to use another role such as `Analyst` instead of `Administrator` for users logging in to child organizations, you can edit the SAML configuration on child organizations and specify the `Analyst` role in on-demand roles provisioning. See [Configure on-demand roles provisioning](/docs/manage/security/saml/set-up-saml/#configure-on-demand-roles-provisioning).
152+
* In addition, if you have configured roles within your child organizations that match the roles within your parent, you can configure the SAML configuration to enable [on-demand role provisioning](/docs/manage/security/saml/set-up-saml/#configure-on-demand-roles-provisioning).
153+
* If you choose not to use this SSO feature, click [Disable SSO](#disable-sso) on the child organizations. Then users log in with username and password, or you can manually [set up SAML for single sign-on](/docs/manage/security/saml/set-up-saml/) on the child organizations.
