SAML user provisioning

Introduction

Default Configuration (DataSet Managed)

By default, user management and authentication (ex. providing access to user accounts, setting user account permissions) are managed within DataSet. This applies to conventional username / password logins and SSO (without SAML provisioning) configurations. More information can be found here.

SAML Provisioning (IdP Managed)

DataSet enables you to manage authorization via your IdP. This is done via just-in-time SAML user provisioning. When a user logs into DataSet via your IdP, the IdP sends a list of groups to which the user belongs. If the user does not exist, the system creates the user. It then uses the list of groups to add or remove the user from the appropriate DataSet teams & access groups.

More Information

A functioning SSO configuration is required before proceeding.
