Logging in to Studio for InDesign and InCopy

  • Updated

When using Studio for InDesign and InCopy, you are working on files that are stored in a central database. To access this database you need to log in to the version of Studio Server in which the files are stored.

By logging in, the system will also grant and deny you access to files and features of Studio for InDesign and InCopy, as well as InDesign and InCopy itself.

Logging in

The process for logging in depends on how Studio Server is configured: with or without Single Sign-On (SSO) implemented.

Note: Single sign-on is a process that automatically logs you in to an application or system by using credentials that you entered when logging in once to an authentication provider that manages your user credentials.

Once logged in to that authentication provider, each subsequent log-in to an application that is connected to that provider (such as Studio for InDesign and InCopy) is automatically handled by that system. This drastically reduces the number of times you manually have to log in on a daily basis.

The dialog box that is used for logging in to Studio Server appears automatically when starting up InDesign. It can also be accessed by choosing WoodWing Studio > Log In...

The Log In dialog

You will be guided through the process by various messages that appear on screen. Follow the steps until the process is completed.

Notes: When logging in to Studio Server with SSO support:

  • Part of the process takes place in the Web browser. After successfully logging in, the Web browser needs to communicate this result to InDesign. This is done by the 'WoodWing Studio IDP' application. When asked to open this application, click Open.
  • When logging in to Studio Server for the first time on MacOS, you might be asked to grant the 'WoodWing Studio IDP' application control to the Finder and to Adobe InDesign. Click OK in both messages.

    Please note that if you happen to dismiss this without granting access, you will not be able to log in via SSO. To resolve the issue you will need allow access via the OS Security & Privacy settings and allow the Studio IDP (and other WoodWing applications) access:
