Connecting SuiteProjects Pro Mobile to Your SuiteProjects Pro Account Using IdP-initiated Single Sign-On

Note:

Use the following procedure only if you normally go to a single sign-on page first, then launch SuiteProjects Pro from the single sign-on portal without needing to enter any credential details on the SuiteProjects Pro sign-in page.

Otherwise, if you normally access SuiteProjects Pro using the SuiteProjects Pro sign-in page, see Connecting SuiteProjects Pro Mobile to Your SuiteProjects Pro Account.

You can use the following steps to connect to SuiteProjects Pro Mobile if you launch SuiteProjects Pro Mobile for the first time and if you want to connect SuiteProjects Pro Mobile to a different SuiteProjects Pro account or to switch user. You will only need to repeat these steps if you have not used SuiteProjects Pro Mobile for a long time, or after you disconnect SuiteProjects Pro Mobile from SuiteProjects Pro manually, or after you or an account administrator revoke the authorization in SuiteProjects Pro.

On Android devices, set one of the following browsers as your default browser before you connect SuiteProjects Pro Mobile to your SuiteProjects Pro account. Note the additional requirements for each browser, where applicable.
