Create SSO User

NineData supports creating SSO users for logging into NineData. This article describes the method for creating SSO users.

Introduction to User Types

NineData provides two types of users: General and SSO.

• General: Users registered through regular methods (phone number or email) can log into NineData using regular and SSO methods, supporting all modes (Personal modeAfter registering a NineData account, you are usually in personal mode by default. In this mode, you can easily use the four major functions provided by NineData, which is suitable for individual developers, such as backup, recovery, synchronization, comparison of their own databases, and daily development work with SQL Console., Organization modeOrganization mode supports assigning different roles and resource management permissions to each user under the organization, which is suitable for multi-user collaborative development under the same organization, while ensuring data security and improving overall production efficiency.,SSO organization modeIn addition to the login method, it is the same as the organization mode.), and need to manage and maintain their own account security.
• SSO: Users created by system administrators of SSO organizations can only log into NineData using SSO methods. After logging in, they will directly enter the corresponding SSO organization and cannot enter personal mode or non-SSO organization mode. Since the account information of SSO users is managed by the identity provider (IdP), SSO users have higher security.

caution

If the administrator later disables SSO login, SSO in the organization will no longer be able to log in to the organization, while General will not be affected.
