Single Sign-On
When you sign in to N-sight RMM, you enter your Territory URL and you are redirected to the Single Sign-On login page at https://sso.navigatorlogin.com for authentication.
With Single Sign-On you only need to sign in once to access multiple applications. After signing in, you can use the Product bar to easily switch between our supported products and whenever you choose an application you are automatically signed in.
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a convenient way for you to use one set of login credentials to access our SSO products, including Take Control, MSP Manager, and Cove Data Protection (Cove).
Any changes to your SSO credentials, including username and password updates, apply to all of our SSO supporting products
Single Sign-On has the following benefits:

Single Sign-on utilizes the leading industry standard for cross-platform authentication with all login requests passed through HTTPS using this protocol.
Dashboard User Management
Users control all aspects of their authentication, from creating their initial password, managing their credentials going forward and controlling their Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) settings.
The Dashboard administrator can ensure the company requirements are followed. Administrators create new users, assign Client Groups and roles, request users change their password, and remove no longer required logins.
For more information, see User Management.
There may be a slight delay when amending credentials, including the use of the Forgot Password link, whilst these settings synchronize.
Single Sign-On honors the user's Security settings (including Session Timeout, Two Factor Authentication and IP Address Restriction) from the General section, also available under the Settings menu and General Settings.
Dashboard Login
To access the Dashboard navigate to your Territory URL, this will then redirect to the Single Sign-On service’s universal login page at https://sso.navigatorlogin.com where the user authentication takes place.
After successfully entering your credentials you are then directed back to your originally entered URL and Dashboard.
When accessing the Dashboard via the main website login page, you may be prompted to only enter your username; with this used to determine your Dashboard territory. When your territory is established, you are directed to the Single Sign-On service’s universal login page with the username already populated from the first step.
Clarification: All users should continue to use their existing Dashboard URLs, they are only re-directed to https://sso.navigatorlogin.com during the Dashboard authentication process and once this is complete, returned to their original URL.
Important: https://sso.navigatorlogin.com Access
As Dashboard login attempts are re-directed to the Single Sign-On service for authentication, please ensure that all Dashboard users (both Staff and Client) can reach https://sso.navigatorlogin.com
Although you cannot use https://sso.navigatorlogin.com to access the Dashboard directly, when visiting this URL one of the below images should be displayed.
If neither are returned, it may be necessary to add navigatorlogin.com to the allowed list on any Firewall or Web/URL content filtering to ensure users can maintain Dashboard access.
