update

• If you use SAML SSO, you now have the option to configure the SAML domain hints. These hints ensure that users don't attempt to authenticate with the identity provider (IdP) using domains that are not allowed when using the Staffbase platform. To activate this feature, contact Staffbase Support or your Customer Success Manager. It's worth noting that this feature currently works with Microsoft Entra ID as the IdP, although it may also work with other IdPs.
