Single Sign On (SSO) - Wales

The Single Sign On for Wales app allows you to configure a one-step Vision 3 login process. This means that when you open your session from your Desktop, you are taken straight to your Vision 3 login screen and don’t have to enter your network password.

Setting up and managing accounts is easy. From the app, you just need to pair your network and Vision 3 accounts, please see Setting Up Single Sign On.

When logging in, if Vision 3 cannot find relevant linked account details, you are asked to login following the original two-step process.

It is advised that if you share your desktop with other users that you log out of the full Vision 3 session when someone else wants to login to Vision 3. Please be aware that depending on how your workstation is set up, this may also involve logging out of Windows.
