Lobbytrack allows employees to log in using their Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials registered with Azure Active Directory. This feature makes the workplace experience safer and more convenient as users do not need to remember yet another username and password to log into different apps they use at work. SSO also makes it easier to authorize or remove employees from Lobbytrack and other apps by simply adding them to or removing them from the SSO software the company is using.
