# 🌐 Introducing StreamWave Connect SSO — One Account, Multiple Communities!

**We're excited to announce StreamWave Connect SSO, a new Single Sign-On system for StreamWave Community Suite!**

As we continue developing StreamWave Community Suite, one of our biggest goals is to make it easier for members to connect, explore, and participate across multiple communities.

With **StreamWave Connect**, we're taking another major step toward that vision!

## 🔐 One Login. Multiple Communities. Endless Possibilities.

Imagine joining a new community powered by StreamWave Community Suite without having to create yet another username and password.

That's exactly what StreamWave Connect is designed to deliver.

Members who already have an account at **[StreamWave Forums](https://streamwaveforums.com/forums.php)** can use their existing credentials to sign in to other participating StreamWave communities.

No more juggling multiple passwords or repeatedly filling out registration forms!

## ✨ What Does StreamWave Connect Offer?

**✅ Sign In with StreamWave**

Participating communities can display a convenient **Sign in with StreamWave** button on their login pages.

**✅ Simplified Registration**

New members can use their StreamWave identity to join participating communities without creating another password.

**✅ Secure Authentication**

Authentication is handled through the central StreamWave identity server, using secure authorization and identity verification.

**✅ Independent Community Experiences**

Each community maintains its own forums, discussions, member permissions, Community Credits, achievements, and other local features.

**✅ Your Identity Travels With You**

Use your existing StreamWave identity across participating communities while enjoying everything each individual website has to offer.

**✅ Optional for Community Owners**

Administrators can choose whether to enable StreamWave Connect on their own Community Suite installations.

## 🚀 How Does It Work?

Getting started is designed to be simple!

1. Visit a participating StreamWave Community Suite website.
2. Click **Sign in with StreamWave**.
3. You'll be redirected to StreamWave Forums to authenticate.
4. Once authorized, you'll return to the community and be signed in using your linked StreamWave identity.

If you're already signed into StreamWave Forums, the process may be even quicker!

## 🛠️ For StreamWave Community Suite Administrators

StreamWave Connect is available as an optional add-on for StreamWave Community Suite.

Community administrators can install the **StreamWave Connect SSO Client**, configure their connection to the central identity server, and offer members a streamlined login experience.

The SSO Client can also be selected for inclusion when building new Community Suite releases using our Automatic Release Builder.

Importantly, existing local login functionality remains available, allowing communities to continue supporting their current members.

## 🌍 Building a More Connected Community Network

StreamWave Community Suite has always been about giving community owners the freedom to create their own unique online spaces.

StreamWave Connect takes that philosophy further.

A music community, gaming forum, technology discussion board, entertainment website, or hobby community can maintain its own identity while participating in a wider network of connected communities.

**Different communities. Different experiences. One StreamWave identity.**

And this is just the beginning of what we envision for the StreamWave community ecosystem.

## 📢 Availability

StreamWave Connect is being introduced through our Community Suite add-on and release system. Community owners will need to install, configure, and test the integration before offering it to members.

The feature will become available on individual websites as their administrators enable it.
