You're looking for this setting here:

 ![SCR-20231102-jsen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/a/2a13c9a43944b330d31efb23f227fc9528327178.png)

Here is the link to the docs page that has a broader description of the [Automatically redirect users to the IdP if authentication is required](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Project+Properties#ProjectProperties-GeneralProperties) setting.

I believe the checkbox is "Always ask the IdP to reauthenticate users by default". With this unchecked like you have if the user is already logged into your IdP I think it should auto-login.

Ahh, I guess I've overlooked that flag/checkbox myself. So basically that's the automatic redirect vs notifying the user that they'll be redirected to the IdP and have to click a button to do so. Makes sense!
