Authentication & Authorization
Authentication in network security
Authenticate and authorize users through access entitlement
IDMWORKS gives your organization the tools needed to authenticate users and grant them authorization to your organization’s data and applications.
Authentication and authorization sound similar, but they are two separate sides to the same coin.
When you think of authentication, think about showing your ID to get into an exclusive club. It is the process of verifying the user’s identity before they are given access to a system.
When you think of authorization, think about having a pass to enter the VIP room in said exclusive club. Authorization validates roles and privileges assigned to a user.
