An Authentication Provider is a system or service responsible for verifying the identity of users attempting to access a resource, such as a website, application, or network. It is a crucial component of the authentication process and is often part of a larger identity and access management (IAM) system.
You need to be the org admin to access the Organization Settings.
Tap on the icon in the corner to see the Organization Settings toolbar (if you are not admin, you will not see these options)
As of now, ConnectSecure does not support Phone/SMS verification in the new portal. Our focus is primarily on email verification to enhance security and streamline the user experience.

Admin Access
Newly signed-up users are only permitted to establish SSO using the registered email ID and username associated with the organization's owner. In the event that another organization partner wishes to configure SSO, the owner of the organization must Add a Manager within the organization section.
To manage the Admin access to manage the other members of the organization.
Select Organization click on Add + button as shown below.
Add a Manager and select the Login name (Current Organization).
Click on OrgOwner and click on Add to provide Admin Access.
Use Cases
Existing Email with SSO Selection:
If the user's email already exists in the system and they choose the SSO provider email during profile configuration, a new user account associated with the SSO provider will be created.
This allows users to log in with both their system user credentials and their SSO provider credentials.
Existing Email with System Profile Selection:
If the user's email already exists in the system and they choose their existing system user email during SSO profile configuration, they need to link their system user profile with their SSO user profile.
This ensures that the user can access their account using their SSO provider credentials.
(While linking the existing user profile to SSO, the initial username should match with user management list and SSO user details)
New SSO User Profile Creation:
If the SSO user profile email doesn’t exist, a new user account will be created using the SSO user profile information.
This allows new users to register and access the system using SSO provider credentials.
