Required

```

By default Squadcast lets you create a user via SSO with a configured default Role ( Admin / User / Stakeholder) in the SSO screen as shown below but it can be overwritten by sending an optional custom field <mark style="color:red;">`role`</mark> and its value along with the above attribute.

**Note:**

**Members** trying to log into Squadcast through SSO who aren't already added to the Squadcast platform will be added to the platform by default as **Users**.
