Setting up test users

User Provisioning

Before your users can start authenticating with Beyond Identity, they need to be provisioned in the Beyond Identity Directory. As Auth0 does not support SCIM, users need to manually provisioned using the Beyond Identity admin portal or using the Beyond Identity REST API. Please see admin portal video tutorial here which shows navigating to the directory area of the admin portal - https://www.beyondidentity.com/resources/beyond-identity-admin-console-overview.

1. In the Admin portal under the Directory tab click Add User

2. Enter the following values:

   1. External ID: oidc|Beyond-Identity|<email_address>

   2. Email: <email_address>

   3. Username: <email_address>

   4. Display Name: <Full Name>

3. Click ‘ Save Changes’

4. The user will now be sent a welcome email to the email address supplied above. See User Enrollment section.

   Note: The External ID format above must be adhered to as this will be the user ID of the user in Auth0.

User Enrollment

1. Enrolled (provisioned) user will receive an email from Beyond Identity welcoming them to the new Identity Provider.

   1. See image below for reference:

2. Each enrolled user will be asked to follow the two steps below:

   1. Step 1: Download the Beyond Identity {{glossary.Authenticator}} to their device.

      1. When the user clicks View Download Options, the Beyond Identity Authenticator downloads page will open in a browser with all supported platforms displayed. The user should download and install the Beyond Identity Authenticator on their device if they have not already.

      2. Now that the user has the Authenticator installed on their device, they should proceed to Step 2 as there is not yet a user credential associated with the Authenticator on that device.

   2. Step 2: Register their Credential in the Beyond Identity IdP.

      1. By clicking on Step 2 Register New Credential, the user’s credential will get enrolled in the Beyond Identity service on the back end. On the front end, users who click Step 2 will be taken to the Beyond Identity Authenticator where they will see the progress of their credential registration. Once completed, the user will see a credentials in the Authenticator.

      2. See example image below:

User Authentication (Signing in)

1. Each enrolled user can visit any application supported by the SSO to sign into corporate applications without a password.

2. The SSO-supported application will ask the user to enter their username.

3. Once the username is submitted, a prompt to use or open the Beyond Identity app for authentication will display for the user.

4. The user should click affirmatively on the prompt to be signed into their application, without the use of a password. The Beyond Identity app along with a success notification will display.

   Note: For iOS devices, some application sign-in processes will ask the user to exit out of the Beyond Identity Authenticator to return to their app after successful authentication.

User Deprovisioning

To deprovision a user from the Beyond Identity experience, manually delete users from Beyond Identity Admin Portal.
