You’ll also have access to several configuration options.

The + Add filters button next to the user search bar allows you to filter the user list based on their roles and teams.

Yes. Monotype Fonts’ SSO mapping feature allows you to map Monotype Fonts teams onto your company’s existing active directory (AD) groups.

This ensures that when they log into Monotype Fonts via SSO, users in your AD groups are provisioned into the right teams with their respective user roles. It also gives them immediate access to the font assets (folders, font lists, web projects and more) associated with their creative projects.

To implement this feature, ensure that your SSO setup is configured to pass group information in its SAML assertion. Please get in touch with our Customer Support team to ensure proper setup.

1. Click the Create new button in the SSO tab under the Manage section.

2. In the Create SSO Mapping dialog, enter your SSO group name in the Tell us your SSO group field. (Make sure to confirm the spelling, as this is the name Monotype Fonts will match against the group name received from your active directory system.)

3. Then, select the User Role and Teams for users in this group from the drop-down menus.

You can add users within a group to multiple Teams by clicking on the + icon next to the drop-down menu(s).

5. Once set up, click the Create SSO Mapping button to finish.

Your new SSO mapping should now appear in the SSO mapping table.

1. To modify existing mappings, click on the group name to open the Edit SSO Mapping dialog.

2. In the Edit SSO Mapping dialog, use the User Role and/or Teams drop-down menus to update the existing mapping.

You can add users in a group to multiple Teams by clicking on the + icon beside the drop-down menu(s).

1. Click on an unmapped group’s name. This will open the Create SSO Mapping dialog.

2. In the Create SSO Mapping dialog, use the User Role and/or Teams drop-down menus to create the new mapping.

You can add users within a group to multiple teams by clicking on the + icon beside the drop-down menu(s).

In case a match is not found:

In the case of multiple matches, the first match takes effect.

When a particular group’s mapping or a user’s active directory group in Monotype Fonts is modified, their user configuration is updated accordingly at the next login. Sessions time out after eight hours, checking and (if needed) updating user configuration upon each successive login.

Company Admins cannot modify roles or teams for users logging in via SSO and mapped to existing active directory groups. To remove users from a group, please contact your IT/System Administrator.
