SSOGEN 4.4: customer identity
Section titled “SSOGEN 4.4: customer identity”SSOGEN 4.4 gives people outside your directory, such as suppliers, partners, customers and auditors, an account that SSOGEN holds.
| What | In short | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Invitations | Create user or a CSV import sends a one-use link that sets the first password, valid 7 days by default. Resend and cancel from the person’s record. | Invite people |
| Self-service registration | Create an account on the sign-in page, off until you turn it on. The person proves the mailbox; approval is on by default. | Self-service registration |
| Applications only | People who sign up themselves get access to applications, never administrative power. | Self-service registration |
| Protection without a CAPTCHA | A small puzzle solved in the browser, plus limits per address, email domain, organization and network, and blocked disposable email domains. | Self-service registration |
| Second step from the first sign-in | Set-up at the first sign-in offers a passkey where the policy allows it, and a code texted to the number your organization supplied. | Create an account |
| Links that survive a mail outage | A reset or invitation link is replaced only once the mail server accepts the new email, so the person always keeps a working link. | Invite people |
| Audit | New event categories for invitations and sign-up, with no address, name, code or token recorded. | Audit event reference |
| My Apps on a phone | The header holds the logo, the notifications bell and Sign out; Administration is in the menu. | My Apps |
On an organization hosted by SSOGEN, invitations work at once and sign-up is turned on by SSOGEN for your organization. See Sign-up on a hosted organization.
