    I'm in agreement with all others on this thread - QBO should definitely add the ability to integrate with other identity providers (Google, AzureAD, or any SAML provider). Sure it is great that Inuit has an Oauth 2 system for integrations, that makes sense for sure, but the support people in this thread and elsewhere in the developer pages aren't getting that we IT administrators are also looking for a way for our QBO end users (our accountants, etc) to sign into to QBO using the identity provider that our company uses for literally everything else.

      Your voices and ideas matter to us, shaun-hb. 

       

      Integrating third-party identity providers into QuickBooks Online is indeed a great feature. I can see how this functionality would be beneficial when accessing your books. With this, I encourage sending feedback directly to our Product Development team. Doing so helps us improve the features of the program. I'll show you how:

       

      1. Go to the Gear menu and then select Feedback.
      2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
      3. Once done, click on Next.

       

      You can get back on this thread to stay informed if there are any updates regarding the availability of the option. If you have any other questions about the program's features, please don't hesitate to keep us posted.

      Honestly these canned responses do not help. The ticket has been open long enough. If it was a priority it would have been implemented. The technical requirements are not too difficult to fathom. Now the business impact to Intuit due to lost customers is one which one would have thought would be motivation enough. Thankfully there are other providers of professional web-based accounting software.

        Since QuickBooks Online can authenticate users via OpenID Connect, it can absolutely be set up to work with most modern IdPs, including Azure.

         

        Apparently, the support rep that replied (as well as the ones who suggested you request the feature, lol) didn't understand your question. Quite often, you'll note that rather than ask clarifying questions or check with a colleague, the reps simply answer "no" to questions they don't understand. This is unfortunate as it undermines their credibility.

        JonahMc,

         

        I do not see anywhere an option to configure OpenID (or any other IdP). Can you share exactly where to find this?

        Yes! First —if you haven't already— sign up for a free Intuit Developer account. Next, follow the steps outlined on the Implement Intuit Single Sign-on page and you'll be good to go.
