Set authentication policies for organization users

The authentication policy for your organization specifies the ways that users can access your organization on the Aiven platform: with a password, third-party authentication, or organization single sign-on (SSO).

Authentication types​

Passwords and two-factor authentication​

With password authentication enabled, users log in with their email address and password. For an added layer of security, you can enforce two-factor authentication (2FA) for password logins for all users in your organization.

When 2FA is required, users won't be able to access any resources in your organization until they set up 2FA.

note

Authentication tokens are not affected and continue to work when you make 2FA required. However, when users enable 2FA their existing authentication tokens are revoked.

Third-party authentication​

Users can choose to log in using Google, Microsoft, or GitHub.

Organization identity providers (SSO)​

Organization users are restricted to logging in using SSO through an identity provider.

  1. In the organization, click Admin.
