Access Management

Observo offers a variety of authentication and authorization mechanisms.

Authentication

Observo supports the following authentication mechanisms:

• OAuth2

• OpenID Connect

• Basic Authentication

• Social Logins

• Single Sign-On (SSO)

In addition to these, Observo has the capability to enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to enhance security.

Depending on the model of the deployment, the authentication mechanism can be configured. We support both hybrid and on-premises deployments. Observo is responsible for managing the authentication process for the hybrid deployment. While for the on-premises deployment, the customer is responsible for managing the authentication process. For more details, refer to the On-premises Authentication and Hybrid Authentication of this documentation.

Authorization

For granular authorization, Observo implements a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. This allows for detailed control over user permissions and roles. The RBAC roles and permissions can be mapped through SSO tokens, providing seamless integration with existing identity providers.

For more details, refer to the SSO section and the RBAC section of this documentation.
