User authentication

IDMC uses different types of user authentication. Native users are authenticated through IDMC. Salesforce, Microsoft Azure, and SAML users are authenticated through their identity providers.
IDMC can use the following types of user authentication:
Native
Native users are authenticated through IDMC and log in using a user name and password that's unique to their organization. Native human users can log in to the user interface while non-human users are restricted to using APIs.
You can enable multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security for human users.
Salesforce
Salesforce users sign in to IDMC through Salesforce or a Salesforce app. They are authenticated through Salesforce.
