This tutorial assumes that you have the following:

1. Existing Play Digital Signage Account which you are the owner of (if you don’t, you may register here)
2. Existing organization and administrator rights to it (if you don’t have an organization yet, you may sign up at okta.com)

1. Install Play Digital Signage OIDC app

3. Setup your Play Digital Signage team

Go to the Sign On section of Play Digital Signage app settings and note down the client ID and client secret.

Now navigate to the team page of your existing Play Digital Signage account and find the “Setup Okta Authentication” button. Before clicking the button make sure you are the owner of the team and there are no other users but you in your team.

Once you’ve done that, go ahead and click the “Setup Okta Authentication” button and fill in your Okta organization URL E.g. https://my-org.okta.com,  your client ID, and client secret. Having done that, go ahead and click the “Save” button.

WARNING: once you set up your Play Digital Signage team with authentication, you will no longer be able to access the team with your original user. If you would like to reverse this, please contact [email protected] or use live chat to get in touch with our staff.

4. Log in to your team

Now that your Play Digital Signage team is set up with Okta authentication, you can go ahead and log in to your team using the Play Digital Signage tile in your dashboard.

NOTE: the first user that logs in to the team after setting up authentication will become a team owner. You may transfer the ownership or change the roles of the users later on, by going to your Play Digital Signage team page.
