## Overview
Implement enterprise-grade SSO, role-based access control, and organization management.

## Prerequisites
- Clerk Enterprise tier subscription
- Identity Provider (IdP) with SAML/OIDC support
- Understanding of role-based access patterns
- Organization structure defined

## Instructions
1. Step 1: Configure SAML SSO
2. Step 2: Define Roles and Permissions
3. Step 3: Permission Checking
4. Step 4: Protected Routes with RBAC
5. Step 5: Organization Management
6. Step 6: React Components with RBAC
7. Step 7: API Route Protection

For full implementation details and code examples, load:
`Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- SAML SSO configured
- Roles and permissions defined
- RBAC enforcement in middleware
- Organization management

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| SSO login fails | Misconfigured IdP | Check attribute mapping |
| Permission denied | Missing role | Review role assignments |
| Org not found | User not in org | Prompt org selection |
