We must distinguish the internal directory (typically an Active Directory or LDAP) from the concept of centralized authentication (Single Sign-On or SSO):
Yes, Elium allows you to create users automatically from an internal directory or simply from an Excel file that contains at least the email address of the user. You can also pre-fill profiles with details such as name, first name, photo, skills, etc. This is primarily done at the beginning of the project or when inviting a large number of users.
Yes, Elium offers SSO connectors for SAML2 identity and OpenID providers (for example, standards supported by ADFS). Such a connector enables an identified user to switch seamlessly into Elium without needing to enter a login and password. Elium will retrieve some information related to that user within the same transaction.
