Team collaboration |

Team feature enables multiple users to work on the same Workato account and collaborate on recipes in a shared workspace. User roles and permission sets can be assigned to ensure that different users have access to the features they need.
Team feature is enabled only for certain plans. Check the Pricing and Plans page or reach out to Workato sales representatives at +1 (844) 469-6752 to find out more.
For Workato accounts with team access, team owners are able to view the team option on their account menu.
In the team admin screen, team owners can view current collaborators on their team, view pending invitations to collaborators, as well as invite collaborators. Collaborator roles can also be changed by the team owner.
View collaborators, pending invites to collaborators, and invite collaborators
The default roles for teams are:
- Admin
- Analyst
- Operator
The following table details the specific set of permissions each role has.
Admins have almost equivalent permissions as the team owner. They are able to add, edit and delete recipes, connections, SDK, API keys and on-prem agents. In addition, admins have administrative rights over the team and are able to invite collaborators or edit collaborators' roles.
The admin role is typically given to users managing the Workato team account.
Analysts have no access to team administration nor API keys. They are able to add and edit recipes, connections, SDK, as well as start and stop the on-prem agents.
The analyst role is typically given to users building and testing integration recipes or custom connectors on Workato.
Operators only have access to view recipes and jobs, as well as start and stop recipes and rerun jobs.
The operator role is typically given to users maintaining the recipe and ensuring the recipes are running well.
To invite collaborators, provide the full name of the collaborator and their email.
Invite collaborators to the team
Existing Workato users will be prompted to login to Workato and accept the team invite.
Non-Workato users will be prompted to sign up for a Workato account.
Team members will be able to view the teams they are collaborating on in their account menu, as well as their roles in the team. Members can toggle to these teams by clicking on the team.
Switching to the ACME team account
Recipe changes are logged under Versions tab and attributed to the collaborator who made the change. Older versions of the recipe can be restored by users with admin or analyst roles.

Follow the steps below to enable Okta SSO for your team.
Create a new SAML application in Okta admin interface. Refer to the Okta documentation for more details.
Okta Workato Service Provider settings in Wizard mode
Fill the settings form as follows:
Field | Value |
---|---|
Single Sign On URL | https://www.workato.com/saml/init |
Allow this app to request other SSO URLs | Enable checkmark |
Requestable SSO URLs | Add https://www.workato.com/saml/consume |
Audience Restriction | Add https://www.workato.com/saml/metadata |
Recipient URL | Add https://www.workato.com/saml/init |
Destination URL | Add https://www.workato.com/saml/init |
The final Okta settings screen should look like this: Okta Workato Service Provider completed settings
Go to the "Sign On" tab and in yellow field you would see link "Identity Provider Metadata". Copy this URL to use in future in Workato Team Settings SAML configuration Okta metadata URL
Follow the steps below to enable OneLogin SSO for your team.
Create a new SAML application in OneLogin admin interface. Refer to the OneLogin documentation for more details.
OneLogin Workato Service Provider settings
Fill the settings form as follows:
Field | Value |
---|---|
Audience | https://www.workato.com/saml/metadata |
Recipient | https://www.workato.com/saml/init |
ACS (Consumer) URL validator | ^https:\/\/www.workato.com\/saml\/*$ |
ACS (Consumer) URL | https://www.workato.com/saml/consume |
- Once OneLogin setup finished press on "Save" button in the top right corner of OneLogin SAML settings page.
- Click on the menu "More Actions", right click on "SAML metadata" and choose "Copy Link Address" in context menu.
- Copy this URL to use in future in Workato Team Settings SAML configuration.
- Enable SAML on Team -> Settings page
- Enter Team ID - handle to identify team during login (no whitespace or special characters, just letters, numbers and dash)
- Set SAML provider
- Preferable way of SAML configuration is via metadata URL - get this URL from Identity Provider (see the instructions for Okta and OneLogin)
- Insert metadata URL and press "Validate Settings", once validation succeeds press "Save" Workato SAML Okta Configuration example
Also SAML settings could be configured manually. In this case you need to get from SAML Identity Provider next information:
- Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL
- Identity Provider Issuer
- X.509 Certificate Workato SAML Okta Manual Configuration example
Once SAML is enabled, access to Team is controlled by SAML Identity Provider (Okta, OneLogin, etc). In order to switch from personal account to the SAML-enabled team you need to go through SAML Identity Provider authentication procedure. Switch to Team account with Okta authorization
Another way to login directly into SAML-enabled team is by providing a Team ID set during Team SAML configuration procedure. SAML Identity Provider authentication step is required as well. Login into Team account with Team Id and Okta authentication
Just-in-Time provisioning eliminates the needs for team admins to create Workato user accounts in advance on behalf of team members. When an employee signs up for a new Workato account via SAML SSO, they will automatically be added into the organization's team. When an employee with an existing Workato account logs in via SAML SSO for the first time, they will automatically be added into the organization's team as well. Team members will be given the role of Operator
by default.
Information about the new user is taken from the SAML attributes passed to Workato from the identity provider. If attributes are missing, default value are used. The following attributes are supported:
Workato user field | SAML attribute | Default value |
---|---|---|
User email | workato_email |
SAML NameID (in email format) |
User first and last name | workato_full_name |
part of SAML Name |
User team role | workato_role (could be Admin , Analyst or Operator , case-sensitive) |
Operator |
You may enable SAML Just-In-Time provisioning on Team > Settings page.
