Ha ha. I noticed the SSO tax and it has stopped us SSOing all the things which would be nice from a security point of view.

I think vendors use SSO as a feeler for “company has more money to spend on us” so if you want to eliminate SSO tax you need to give them a new thing to grade enterprises on. However a simpler thing would be like Docker etc. who look at ARR.

Yes, that's what I heard too. I mean they still have SCIM which allows you create/remove user accounts via API. Although that's still security relevant, giving at least SSO out for free would help already. Still, I would prefer something that does not relate to security.

What do you mean with Docker? I saw on their page that they offer SSO on the highest tier, so they do not look solely on ARR then?!

I didn’t know about their SSO sorry, I just meant their desktop licensing based on paying once you reach a certain revenue.

If companies use SSO as a rough proxy for “willing to spend” then they can use ARR instead as it is more direct.
