STEP 0 - Contract and subscription

To get the application, you need to subscribe to Flexopus. We assume that you have already done it.

STEP 1 - Application URL

Unlike many other applications, Flexopus provides each customer with a unique URL, such as yourcompany.flexopus.com. After subscribing, you can specify your preferred domain, and we’ll set up the application for you. As part of this setup, you will receive an invitation as a system administrator.

If you prefer not to use a domain ending in flexopus.com, you can request a custom domain for your application.

STEP 12 - Invite users / Single Sign On

To set up the appropriate integrations and processes for user import, start by configuring a SAML2 SSO integration with access management at your Identity Provider. This setup generally suffices, as users will be created in Flexopus automatically after their first login attempt. Alternatively, you can provision users in advance using a compatible integration.
