# url

Get BackupUnit SSO URL

## Usage

```
ionosctl compute backupunit get-sso-url [flags]
```

## Aliases

For `backupunit` command:

```
[b backup]
```

## Description

Use this command to obtain a Single Sign-On (SSO) URL for a BackupUnit. Copy the entire returned URL and paste it into a browser: you will be logged straight into the backup web console (<https://backup.ionos.com>) for that unit, without entering the login/password manually.

The URL is short-lived and grants access to manage backup plans, schedules and restores for this unit.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/tools-cli/subcommands/managed-backup/get/sso/url.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
