Summary:
Implement true Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality in LendingWise, enabling companies to streamline user authentication, enhance security, and centrally manage login permissions through providers like Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Google Workspace, and other popular SSO solutions.

Description:
This feature would allow companies using LendingWise to integrate with their SSO provider of choice for seamless and secure access to the platform. By leveraging SSO, administrators can ensure consistent access controls, simplify user management, and improve security by enforcing centralized policies.

Key Features:

SSO Provider Support:

Support for industry-standard protocols like SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0 to ensure compatibility with leading SSO providers:
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory): For businesses using Microsoft-based infrastructure.
Google Workspace: For organizations leveraging Google for authentication.
Okta, OneLogin, and Ping Identity: To support other widely-used enterprise SSO providers.
Custom SSO Integrations: Enable setup for less common or proprietary SSO systems.
User Provisioning & Deprovisioning:

Automatic user provisioning based on group membership or roles defined in the SSO provider.
Immediate deprovisioning of users when access is revoked in the SSO directory, ensuring security.
Granular Role Mapping:

Map SSO roles/groups to LendingWise permissions (e.g., admin, loan officer, underwriter) to enforce role-based access control.
Security Enhancements:

Enforce organization-wide multi-factor authentication (MFA) policies through the SSO provider.
Centralize password policies and login activity monitoring.
Ease of Setup:

Provide an intuitive interface for administrators to configure SSO settings in LendingWise.
Offer step-by-step guides and pre-built configurations for popular providers like Entra and Google.
Audit Logging:

Track login events, failed login attempts, and SSO-related errors to aid in compliance and security monitoring.
Why This Is Valuable:

Centralized User Management: Simplifies administration by allowing companies to manage user access directly from their SSO provider.
Enhanced Security: Reduces risks of unauthorized access with single sign-on and centralized security policies.
Scalability: Makes it easier for large organizations to onboard and manage users across teams and departments.
Improved User Experience: Users gain quick, seamless access to LendingWise with fewer passwords to manage.
