Zoho Directory Integration

Zoho Directory Integration

Zoho Directory is an identity and access management software that allows you to authenticate and manage access provision to multiple products. Users can also manage third-party applications and enforce the organization's security. By integrating with Zoho Projects, the users will be able to access Zoho Projects directly from their Identity Provider.
Feature Availability: Latest user based Enterprise plan

Use case

ABC Constructions is a construction company owned by a corporation. The employees of this construction company should be able to access only the applications that are necessary for their role. Corporate has been looking for an option to restrict these users from accessing other applications. When Zoho Directory is integrated with Zoho Projects, the admins of the organization can control this.
 
The construction company's admin can integrate Zoho Directory with Zoho Projects. Now, in the Zoho Directory's console, the admin can add the applications that the users need to access and select the users who can access that application.
 
In the below screenshot, you can view that the Zoho Projects application has been added to the Directory console. Click the application to add users who need to access Zoho Projects.




Benefits

  1. Provide access to authorized users only.
  2. Gain access to multiple applications with a single authorization.
Note:
Only users with administrator profiles in both Zoho Projects and Zoho Directory can configure this integration.

Security Policies

Security policies are a set of customizable rules that govern how users can authenticate themselves. They consist of four components:
Password policy: This component dictates how strong the users' passwords must be and how often they have to be renewed.

MFA: Using this component, the user can decide which multi-factor authentication modes to use.

Allowed IPs: This component dictates which IP addresses the user can use to sign in. Any sign-in requests from IPs that aren't allowed will be denied.

Session management: This component dictates how many active sessions a user can have, and for how long.
