User authentication
To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.
In Sitecore Content Hub, users can authenticate either with a username and password, or using single sign-on (SSO).
Authentication for Sitecore Content Hub is highly configurable. The specific method for your solution is usually determined by your organization. As a superuser, we recommend that you refer to your organization’s authentication guidelines.
As a Content Hub superuser, you can configure the authentication setting to use a supported external authentication provider. You can also create OAuth clients to connect with external applications.
Authenticated users cannot access or interact with Content Hub key features unless they are assigned the necessary user group policies.
For further guidance on configuring authentication, refer to the Security best practices.
The following examples can help you understand the Authentication configuration setting in Content Hub:
When switching a user who is set up to have single sign-on authentication back to user name and password authentication, a disruption in the login flow might occur. To rectify this, delete M.ExternalLogin entities.
