Authentication methods overview
ZBrain XPLR supports three primary sign-in methods:
SSO authentication (Google or Microsoft) - Recommended for enterprise users
Email & password - Standard credential-based login
Email-only entry - For initial tenant verification and SSO routing
Method 1: SSO authentication
Step 1: Select your SSO provider
From your company-specific sign-in page (https://app.domain.com/<your-company>/signin), choose your SSO option:
Sign in with Google – for Google Workspace users
Sign in with Microsoft – for Microsoft 365 or Azure AD users
Step 2: Redirect to secure login portal
After clicking your preferred provider, you will be redirected to Google or Microsoft’s secure authentication page
Step 3: Enter corporate credentials
After being redirected to Google or Microsoft’s secure sign-in page:
You will see a list of your logged-in accounts
Select your work account associated with your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 environment
If you are not already signed in to your provider, you may be prompted to enter your credentials at this stage
If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled, follow your company’s MFA prompts.
Step 4: Grant permissions (if prompted)
On your first sign-in, you may be prompted to grant access permissions to ZBrain XPLR
This step authorizes ZBrain XPLR to securely access your organization’s Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account, completing the SSO integration and placing you in the correct company.
Step 5: Redirect to ZBrain XPLR
After successful authentication, you will be automatically redirected to your organization’s ZBrain XPLR dashboard.
You are now signed in and ready to begin using the platform.
Method 2: Email & password sign-in
Step-by-step process
Navigate to your company URL
https://aixplr.thehackettgroup.com/company-name/sign-inEnter your credentials
Email address: Your registered work email
Password: Your ZBrain XPLR password
Click ‘Sign in’
The system validates your credentials
Successful authentication redirects you to your workspace
Method 3: Email-only sign-in
Step 1: Enter your work email address
Step 2: Click ‘Continue’
Step 3: The system validates the email domain.
If the domain matches a registered tenant, the workflow proceeds.
If not, the user sees “Organization not found.”
If you are a registered user, the system automatically routes you to the appropriate authentication method based on your organization's configuration.
Tenant-aware URL persistence
ZBrain XPLR consistently retains tenant context across navigation, page refreshes, and sessions, ensuring seamless return to the appropriate workspace without additional steps or re-authentication.
After logging out behavior
When you log out of ZBrain XPLR, the platform ensures you remain within your organization's context. After logging out, you are redirected back to your company-specific sign-in page.
For example, if you originally signed in at "https://aixplr.thehackettgroup.com/abccorp/sign-in", you will be redirected. This helps prevent confusion and ensures a smooth re-login experience for users within the same tenant environment.
