Your step-by-step guide to deploying, securing, and scaling Otter.ai across your organization.
Users: This guide is intended for the Workspace owner or admin(s).
🏢 Step 1: Set Up Roles, Permissions, & Workspace
Once your Enterprise plan is provisioned, you’ll receive access to an Enterprise Workspace.
What to do
- Sign in to Otter using your admin email.
- Confirm Admin or Owner role. If you don’t see admin settings (such as Analytics or Recording Management), your account may not yet be assigned the correct role. Check your Workspace to verify your current role.
Learn more about updating your permission roles.- Invite any other users who should also be admins and assign them the permission role once they join the Workspace.
- Verify Workspace name in Workspace > Manage Workspace. Learn more about renaming your Workspace.
Note: Only Admins and Owners can configure security, roles, and integrations.
🔐 Step 2: Configure Security & Access
Security should be configured before inviting members.
Recommended settings
- Align Otter security settings with your company’s identity provider. Set up SSO / SAML (Otter supports a variety of IdPs, including Okta, Azure, Google, and more).
- Claim your domain to ensure all domain sign-ups are controlled and restricted to your Workspace.
- Set up a data retention policy.
Important: Enable SSO before rollout to prevent duplicate accounts and unmanaged access.
🔑 Step 3: Review recording and meeting permissions
Manage the meeting and recording permissions for your Workspace.
Meeting auto-join & auto-share settings
-
Manage your default meeting settings, such as auto-join and auto-share, in Workspace > Manage Workspace > Settings.
Manage your Notetaker settings
- Rename the Notetaker for your Workspace.
- Review the deduplication process for Notetakers joining from your Workspace.
Tip: Using Microsoft Teams? Set up a custom page to obtain recording permissions before a guest joins a meeting!
🔌 Step 4: Connect Integrations

Note: Some integrations require admin approval before users can enable them.
📣 Step 5: Roll Out to Teams
With security and roles in place, you’re ready to invite users.
Rollout approach
- Invite members to your Workspace.
- Enable auto-join where applicable.
- Users can try interacting with Otter conversations, ask questions via Otter Chat, and create Channels to organize meeting notes.
📊 Step 6: Monitor Adoption & Usage

Key metrics to track
- Active users
