Hi Prudhvi,

As you can see in [our subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) page, under security, SAML authentication requires a Platinum license.

As a side note, using all capital letters in internet forums like this is considered sometimes the equivalent of yelling. It would be great if you could use lower case for topics and posts !
