Authentication

User authentication

The Payrails portal supports two user authentication methods:

1. Single Sign-On (SSO)
2. Non-SSO

Each user type has distinct characteristics regarding access and permissions within the portal.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

SSO users access the portal through a centralized authentication system. Upon joining the portal, SSO users are assigned the default user role called "Viewer." This role is designed for limited access, allowing users to view only the Dashboard section within the merchant portal. Users requiring additional access must contact their administrator to obtain relevant permissions for the portal.

Activating SSO authentication for you Payrails portal

By default, SSO access is not activated for merchants within the Payrails portal. Merchants interested in using SSO functionality must contact their Payrails business partner. At the moment merchants portal supports OKTA as an SSO provider.

Non-Single Sign-On (Non-SSO)

Non-SSO users access the portal through traditional authentication methods. Unlike SSO users, they do not receive automatic role assignments upon joining the portal. Instead, administrators manually assign roles and permissions based on the user's responsibilities and access requirements.
