> [!WARNING]
> From Rocket.Chat 9.0.0, SAML is available on Starter workspaces and on all premium plans (Commercial, Government, and Defense). It is not available on Community workspaces. See [Our Plans](/v1/docs/our-plans) for details.

**SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)** is an XML-based protocol used to exchange authentication and authorization data between parties. With SAML, users can log in once and access multiple web applications. Rocket.Chat supports SAML as a standardized authentication and authorization protocol, enabling organizations to implement secure, centralized login processes.

This section provides configuration details and examples to help you set up SAML integration with Rocket.Chat.

### Key Features of SAML Integration

- **Centralized authentication**: Use your organization’s SAML identity provider to centralize user information and manage access to Rocket.Chat resources.
- **Map user data**: Sync user data from the SAML identity provider to Rocket.Chat, ensuring usernames, roles, and email addresses are correctly associated.
- **Customization and flexibility**: Configure login/logout behavior and adjust user interface options.
- **Premium workspace settings**: On [premium plans](/v1/docs/our-plans), additional options allow advanced user and data sync configurations.

The following sub-sections describe SAML configuration options in Rocket.Chat and provide examples of possible integrations. By using SAML, organizations can maintain industry-standard security while extending user roles and permissions into Rocket.Chat workspaces.
