Enroll existing users into N-able Login

N-able Login allows you to log in once and gain access to multiple N-central applications, or services without needing to authenticate separately for each one. You enroll users by linking them to N-able Login. Users then receive an email invitation to complete their enrollment as an N-able Login user. Please be aware that we use MSP SSO is an alternative name for N-able Login.

If your account is on-premises, start at the System level. If your account is hosted, start at the SO level.

There are two ways in which you can enroll existing users into N-able Login; from the SSO Providers page and the Users page.

From the Users page

You cannot unlink users after you have connected them to N-able Login.

1. Log into N-able N-central.

2. Do one of the following:

   1. If on a hosted account, select the provider, [company] N-able Login.

   2. If on an onprem account, select SYSTEM MSP SSO.

3. Go to User Management > Users.

4. Select the user(s) you want to link.

   If one or more users are already linked to another IdP, you must select and unlink each one from that provider before linking them to N-able Login. From LINK TO SSO PROVIDER, select Unlink.

5. From the LINK TO SSO PROVIDER menu, select MSP SSO. If on an onprem system, select SYSTEM MSP SSO.

6. Click the I have read and understand that I will not be able to disconnect N-able Login checkbox and then click Apply.

   Connecting a user to N-able Login cannot be reversed.

   If a user was previously enrolled as an N-able Login user, their original registration link will be overwritten with a new one.

7. User(s) will receive an email to complete the enrollment.

The link in the welcome email is valid for 7 days. If it expires, repeat steps 3 to 7 to re-enrol the user into N-able Login and resend the welcome email.
