Manage SSO bypass users

What are bypass users?

If needed, you can designate specific users to allow them to sign in without using SSO. This is helpful when you need to provide access to Workiva to people in different departments, consultants, or those outside your company.

Those added as bypass users can sign in using their username and password. You can add and remove users from the bypass list as needed. All other sign-in and password settings are still enforced for bypass users.
