Expanded SSO for Construction Workforce Management: ACC & Entra ID Now in Kwant

Construction teams rely on multiple platforms every day: project management systems, workforce tools, safety platforms, and corporate IT systems. With so many systems to access, managing user credentials can quickly become a burden. That’s why it has become a critical part of secure identity to have Single Sign-On, SSO for construction workforce management.

Today, we’re announcing a major step forward: expanded SSO capabilities now available in Kwant, including new integrations with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and Microsoft Entra ID. These enhancements make it easier than ever for general contractors, and owners to access the tools they need, securely, consistently, and without unnecessary friction.

Benefits of SSO for Construction Workforce Management Platforms

Strong identity management is no longer optional in a workforce management platform. With rising cybersecurity risks and complex project ecosystems, construction organizations need authentication processes they can trust.

Here are the top benefits of SSO for construction workforce management platforms:

1. Stronger Security for Sensitive Workforce Data

SSO centralizes identity verification, enabling stronger password policies, MFA enforcement, and automated access control system  . This reduces the risk of unauthorized data exposure.

2. Faster Onboarding Across Projects

Large teams, subcontractors, and rotating crews can log in instantly using existing organizational credentials. No more account duplication or delayed onboarding.

3. Reduced IT and Admin Overhead

IT teams no longer need to reset passwords or manually deactivate accounts. When a worker leaves the organization, access is automatically revoked across all connected systems.

4. Better Compliance and Auditability

SSO helps companies maintain compliance with corporate policies, site-level regulations, and contractual requirements—especially during audits.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) SSO Integration: Deeper Platform Connectivity

One of the biggest additions in this release is Kwant’s new Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) SSO integration. Construction teams can now log in to Kwant using their Autodesk credentials, supporting seamless authentication across platforms they use daily.

Why ACC SSO Matters for Project Teams

• Teams already using Autodesk credentials can avoid new account creation.
  
  
• Access between ACC and Kwant becomes more consistent and secure.
  
  
• Project managers and executives benefit from tighter alignment between workforce data and project documentation.
  

This is also part of an ongoing effort to deepen connectivity with ACC. Kwant is actively working with customers to explore additional ways to enhance the overall Autodesk integration experience.

Microsoft Entra ID SSO Support: Enterprise-Ready Identity Management

Kwant now supports SSO through Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Azure Active Directory. Many enterprise construction organizations already rely on Entra ID for identity governance, making this integration a natural fit.

Benefits for Large Construction Organizations

• Seamless alignment with existing corporate IT infrastructure
  
  
• Enforcement of enterprise-level MFA, password, and identity policies
  
  
• Centralized user lifecycle management across dozens of systems
  

For organizations with strict security requirements, Entra ID SSO ensures that only verified, authorized team members can access workforce and jobsite data.

How Kwant’ SSO Improves Access Control for Workforce Management

Access control is one of the most important aspects of workforce management. SSO in workforce management enhances:

• Eliminating duplicate accounts that can create inconsistent permissions
  
  
• Allowing organizations to set identity rules once and apply them everywhere
  
  
• Ensuring only authorized individuals can access sensitive workforce or project data
  
  
• Simplifying role-based access for field teams, subcontractors, and management
  
  

For teams juggling multiple projects and vendors, these improvements reduce administrative complexity and strengthen overall operational security.

Best SSO Integrations for Construction Technology Ecosystems

As the construction industry becomes increasingly digital, identity management is becoming a core component of IT strategy. The most impactful SSO integrations for construction technology today include:

1. Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)

Ideal for teams who rely heavily on Autodesk for project management, documentation, and collaboration.

2. Microsoft Entra ID

Perfect for enterprise teams with strict IT policies or multi-project oversight.

3. Google Workspace & Other Identity Providers

Useful for smaller but tech-forward companies looking for simplified authentication processes.

The trend is clear: interoperability and secure identity management are becoming standard requirements for modern construction technology stacks.

How to Set Up SSO in Kwant: Quick Start Guide

Here’s a simple overview of how administrators can set up SSO in Kwant:

1. Select your identity provider (ACC, Procore or Microsoft Entra ID).
   Go to the Admin Settings area and choose your SSO option.
   
   
2. Connect the provider to your Kwant environment.
   Follow the guided setup to authenticate your identity provider.
   
   
3. Assign users and permissions.
   IT admins can map user roles and ensure access rules align with project needs.
   
   
4. Test and activate SSO.
   Once verified, SSO becomes available for all authorized users.
   
   

Most organizations complete setup in a few minutes, especially if identity policies are already established.

Conclusion

As construction companies adopt more connected tools, secure identity management becomes essential. With expanded SSO capabilities now available in Kwant, teams gain stronger security, smoother onboarding, and more consistent access control across every project.
