Authentication and authorization

This guide covers authentication, authorization, and delegated administration.

Starting with IDM 8.1, the legacy admin UI is deprecated and is no longer bundled with IDM. It’s available as a separate download from the Backstage download site.

To continue using the legacy admin UI, follow the steps in Install the legacy admin UI.

Authentication

Authenticate users securely.

Authorization & roles

The authorization configuration grants rights to users based on their roles.

Delegated administration

Use privileges to give fine-grained administrative access to specific users.
