Cloud Identity Provider
To configure a cloud identity provider definition profile, you must have the following role:
- General System Administrator
User authentication may utilize a cloud identity provider (IdP), such as Azure Active Directory. If a cloud IdP profile is active, adding an Alma user also results in the user being exported to the cloud identity provider. This authentication is based on standard SAML protocol and, when implemented, is set up the same way as standard SAML profiles in both Alma and Primo.
For more information about cloud identity providers, see Authentication Using a Cloud Identity Provider. For information on cloud IdP configuration in Azure, see Using Microsoft Azure as a Cloud IdP with Alma.
