Will users on the same domain be affected after setting up SSO?

One of our teams has a Dropbox Business account and we want to move them to use SSO via Okta.   After setting up SAML SSO for this account, will this affect any other users from the same domain? ...

Hey GoGoGriffster, thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!

This would depend on the way the team's admin has set it up, Greg. 

If the team's admin has made SSO optional, members of the team will be able to use either sign-in method. They can sign in to the team's page with their SSO password for work, or, they can click Log in with Dropbox credentials to sign in with their Dropbox password.

I hope this helps!

    Thanks. I read about that.

    My question is though if other domain users that are not assigned in this Dropbox business account will be affected.

        One more question....

        I've set up SSO as optional, is it possible to force all @uts.edu.au users in this dropbox account to use SSO and other external addresses to use Dropbox login?

         

        If I set SSO to required, does that mean I will have to have external users in Okta?

         

        I'm thinking I don't want to enable Domain verification as it will affect anyone that has a personal account using their @uts.edu.au email address?
