Nowadays, with the rise of cybersecurity attacks, organizations must implement a centralized way to manage user access to resources. The most relevant feature of an identity management platform is to authenticate credentials when a user signs in to a device, application, or service using Single Sign On (SSO) with SAML and OAuth protocol. To improve security, the authentication process integrates several components like self-service password reset, multifactor authentication, and passwordless authentication. The directory is also designed to maintain a list of device identities and the corresponding user and there are two main ways to get a device identity: registration and join. Thanks to the directory, users and devices can be divided into groups that can be used to grant permission to access resources and manage shared mailboxes.
