Identity and Access Management Tools

What is Identity and Access Management?

A robust identity and access management system is vital to the security and function of formsflow.ai. For business application software, identity and access management solutions let you recreate your organizational flowchart, and then assign access to individuals based on their appropriate rank.

For example, your managers will need access and privileges that your sales team may not. That’s where an identity management system comes in.

Once your organization is structured within the system, and with permissions assigned for each access level, workflows can easily be structured that ensure the right members of your team have the access they need.

But identity management is also vital to the security of your system. Good security starts with reliable authentication of user identities; being able to protect and reliably maintain user data and user log-in credentials is key.

Identity and Access Management as Part of formsflow.ai

formsflow.ai harnesses the power and usability of Keycloak, the premiere open source identity and access management solution on the market. When it comes to identity and access management tools, open source code has helped Keycloak to accept a wide range of identification and login credentials. This means that Keycloak’s integration is easier for you and more secure for your users.

Keycloak offers a number of features that set it apart, including:

• Single sign-on: Users authenticate with Keycloak rather than individual applications. This means that your applications don’t have to deal with login forms, authenticating users, and storing users. Once logged in to Keycloak, users don’t have to log in again to access a different application
• Social media logins: Your users can use their existing social media login credentials to establish their identities in your system
• User Federation: Keycloak has built-in support to connect to existing LDAP or Active Directory servers. You can also implement your own provider if you have users in other stores, such as a relational database.
• Out-of-the-box functionality and design that is intended to be scalable and extendable

For formsflow.ai users, Keycloak provides powerful identity and access management in an open-source no-code solution that fits our philosophy perfectly.

Formsflow.ai users will simply log in to Keycloak, establish user access levels in the admin panel, and then use formsflow.ai to map out processes and workflows.
