SSO and Microsoft Login

SSO and Microsoft Login

There is no AB Projects password. You sign in with the Microsoft 365 work or school account you already use for Teams, and Microsoft — not AB — verifies who you are. AB never sees or stores a password.

How sign-in works

AB Projects uses single sign-on (SSO) — one Microsoft sign-in shared across your Microsoft 365 apps — handled by Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft's cloud identity service, formerly Azure Active Directory). Because Microsoft does the authenticating, your organization's security rules — multi-factor authentication, conditional access — apply to AB automatically.

Any organization's Microsoft 365 tenant can sign in — your company doesn't need to be registered with us first. The only requirement is a work or school account.

Where you sign in

Where you open AB ProjectsWhat happens
Inside Microsoft Teams (desktop, browser, or mobile) Sign-in is automatic from your Teams session — usually no prompt at all.
Your web browser Open blz.actionbridge.io and sign in with the same Microsoft account. See Supported Platforms.
First use in your organization Your Microsoft 365 administrator may be asked to approve the app's permissions once — see Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions.

Signing in is not the same as seeing projects

Sign-in establishes who you are. What you can see is decided by project membership, which follows the connected Teams channel — see Adding or Removing Members. And what you can edit can depend on licensing: the first 10 users are free, paid seats are $3/user/month on the Basic plan, and a member without a seat can sign in and view but is read-only — see Managing Subscriptions and Billing.

If sign-in fails

  1. Check the account. It must be a work or school account in the right organization. Error AADSTS50020 means you're signed in with a personal account or the wrong tenant — sign out of Microsoft, then sign back in with your company account.
  2. Reload. Close and reopen the Teams tab, or clear your browser cache and sign in again at blz.actionbridge.io. For a tab that stays blank, see Microsoft Teams App Doesn't Load.
  3. You're in, but a project is missing? That's membership, not sign-in — you may not be in the linked Teams channel yet, or the roster hasn't synced. Have any channel member open the AB Projects tab to trigger a sync (see Adding or Removing Members).
  4. Ask your administrator. Your organization's conditional-access or consent policies may require an admin to approve the app once.

If problems persist, contact your Microsoft 365 administrator or our support team. In short: your Microsoft account is your AB account — there's nothing extra to create, remember, or reset.
