Role mappingsedit
Role mappings are part of single sign-on (SSO), a subscription feature. This feature allows you to describe which roles to assign to your users using a set of rules.
Role mappings are required when authenticating via an external identity provider, such as Active Directory, Kerberos, PKI, OIDC, or SAML.
Role mappings have no effect for users inside the native or file realms.
To manage your role mappings, open the main menu, then click Stack Management > Role Mappings.
With Role mappings, you can:
- View your configured role mappings
- Create/Edit/Delete role mappings
