You can pass the podcast Channel attribute in the SSO response to assign users to specific channels when they log in via SSO.


Important: The value of the Channel attribute must be the Channel Podcast Website URL, not the podcast title or podcast name.

What is a Channel URL?


A Channel URL is the public website URL of a channel, including the protocol (https://).


Each channel has a unique website URL, and this URL is used as the identifier for channel access in the SSO response.


How to Find the Channel URL

  1. Log in to your Podbean account as an admin.

  2. Go to Channel Dashboard.

  3. Navigate to Settings → General.

  4. Scroll to More Options.

  5. Locate Podcast Website and copy the URL shown there.


This URL is the Channel URL you should use in the SSO response.



Channel URL Example


If the Podcast Website URL shown in the channel settings is:

https://yoursubdomain.podbean.com

Then the Channel URL is:

https://yoursubdomain.podbean.com

Use this exact value in the SSO response.




SSO Response Channel Attributes Example


You can include one or more Channel URLs in the SSO response. The channels listed in the SSO response will be automatically assigned to the corresponding users.
