## How SAML works with sub accounts

Socure allows you to structure your organization using a parent/sub account hierarchy. The parent account is your organization’s primary account. Sub accounts are child accounts of the parent account.

## SAML sub accounts

To enable SAML for a sub account, configure a separate SAML app integration in your IdP. See Configure SAML Authentication for more information.

> 📘  
> **Note**:  
> - Sub accounts cannot share the same SAML metadata file as the parent account.
> - Sub accounts with SAML enabled must be accessed via the IdP dashboard.
> - Reset Password functionality is not available for SAML enabled accounts.

## Non-SAML sub accounts

When you assign a user to a non-SAML sub account, they will receive an email with a link to set their password for logging in to the sub account from the RiskOS™ login page.
