Authorizing User SSO Access
Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel or from the Groups Configuration panel.

- Click save.
