Webflow SSO with Tableau
Webflow Tableau integration by miniOrange helps customers allow their users to access Tableau credentials for seamless access to Webflow using SSO. This solution ensures that you are ready to roll out secure access to Webflow using Tableau within minutes instead of managing users in Webflow. miniOrange also provides 30-days free trial to test out the solution on your own.
miniOrange Webflow integration is just not limited to Tableau but you can easily connect with any of your IDP (Okta, Ping, Microsoft, etc), Active & LDAP without migrating your users. Webflow SSO integration helps your organization's time and efforts with improved security to your data present in the cloud or on-premise.
Note: You don't need any enterprise plan or premium feature to enable SSO for Webflow.
