Identity Provider

An identity provider is a system that creates, stores and manages digital identities. The identity provider can either directly authenticate the user or provide authentication services to third-party service providers (apps, websites, or other digital services). Simply put, an identity provider offers user authentication as a service.

Getting Started:

To access the Identity Provider screen, the user simply needs to login to the ePRINTit SaaS and on the menu bar navigate to the Configuration/Settings area. This feature is managed by permissions and the user must also be associated to a group that allows the user to access this option. To get more information about groups and how to associate it to a role type that has this permission, click here.

Tags

The ePRINTit SaaS system offers you a range of functions that save time and effort. These functions also include tags. Tags can be created and assigned to a profile so that the respective profile can be found more easily using the filter.

For example, you can create a tag “login” and assign this tag to all users that are related to it. Afterward, you can filter all the login-relevant users and get an overview of which users are currently in the login filter. Since anyone can create a tag, it is best to think of a system beforehand so that there is a structure and clear overview.
