When you sign up with SAML, your account access is typically granted by your employer. Reach out to your Air workspace admin to learn more about signing in with your company credentials.

To start SAML sign-up or sign-in, use the generic [`https://app.air.inc/saml-sso-login`](https://app.air.inc/saml-sso-login) page or your workspace link [`https://api.air.inc/integrations/saml/login/{ORGANIZATION-WORKSPACE-ID}`](https://api.air.inc/integrations/saml/login/%7BORGANIZATION-WORKSPACE-ID%7D), which redirects you to your identity provider and avoids re-entering your email.
