All the auth types
Understand the authentication paths available for Proliferate.
Which sign-in options are available depends on whether your team uses Proliferate Cloud (hosted) or a self-hosted deployment.
Auth types
| Auth type | Use it when |
|---|---|
| GitHub sign-in | The default sign-in for Proliferate Cloud. Most organizations start here. |
| OIDC SSO | You want an organization-level sign-in tied to your identity provider and email domains, on top of GitHub sign-in. |
| Self-hosted auth | Your organization runs a self-hosted deployment and configures its own login backend: GitHub OAuth, Google OAuth, email and password, or OIDC SSO with SCIM provisioning. |
Info:
Today, SSO adds a sign-in path scoped by email domain; it doesn't yet create accounts automatically. Invite someone first, then they can sign in through SSO once it's enabled.
For self-hosted deployments, see the authentication guides for GitHub, Google, basic auth, SSO, and SCIM.
