Why has the option to update IdP metadata in Smartsheet been made unavailable to me?
If you are using the same EntityID as another Smartsheet account, you won’t be able to edit the metadata. Have the System Admin of the other Smartsheet account follow the steps in theReplace an Expired IdP Certificate for SAMLarticle to update the metadata for everyone who is using it.
If you’re not sure who the System Administrator for the other Smartsheet account is,reach out to the Support teamand we can assist with finding this information for you.
Why did I receive an error during the metadata validation step while setting up SAML?
The error received in this step will call out the specific problem with the metadata. Here are a few examples of errors you might receive:
- DNS validation failed. Please make sure the DNS entry has propagated and try again
- Domain is already associated with IdP
- Missing SAML Metadata
You’ll need to partner with the IdP admin to adjust the metadata claims and repeat the steps to set up SAML. Examples of accepted claims in Smartsheet can be found in theSAML Configuration and Claims Examples in Smartsheetarticle.
How do I add a domain to my IdP in Smartsheet?

- To add a domain, clickEditnext toDomains (advanced)in the Edit IdP form.
- Type the new domain (e.g. “contoso.com”) and clickAdd domain.
