Enable Opti ID

Opti ID provides a unified identity and access management solution across Optimizely products, including Optimizely Configured Commerce. This guide outlines how to enable Opti ID for your Configured Commerce instance.

New Configured Commerce instances

Optimizely automatically configures new Configured Commerce instances with Opti ID. You do not need to activate Opti ID for these instances.

Live Configured Commerce instances

If you have an existing Configured Commerce instance and want to migrate to Opti ID, follow these steps.

Complete the initial login

• When Optimizely creates your Opti ID organization, it automatically designates the technical contact specified in your contract as the organization administrator for Opti ID. This user receives the initial login credentials.
• The technical contact must complete their initial login to activate the Opti ID organization. This step is foundational for subsequent Opti ID configurations. See Initial technical contact login for information.

Configure single sign-on 

You or your partner can configure single sign-on (SSO) using your preferred approach. Opti ID supports various SSO configurations to streamline user access. See Get started with Opti ID for information.

Enable your environment for Opti ID

1. Log in to the Opti ID Admin Center.

2. Go to Products > Configured Commerce.

   

3. Select the instance for which you want to enable Opti ID.
4. Go to the Details tab and click Edit.

5. Select Opti ID Enabled. A warning displays that you cannot reverse this action. Click Proceed. 

   

6. Click Save.

Redeploy your environment

To finalize enabling Opti ID, you must redeploy your environment.

Manage users and role assignments 

You or your partner can import users into Opti ID. You should also review existing permissions in Configured Commerce and assign the same roles in the Admin Center. See Manage users and Configured Commerce roles for information.
