# Authentication Methods

Authentication methods supported by the DuploCloud Platform

You can SSO to the DuploCloud platform via Google, Microsoft, or Okta. We do not manage usernames and passwords within DuploCloud. A user's identity on the platform is their email address.

The Tenant is the basis of all access management. Users only need to be granted access to the Tenant, and from there, when they login to the DuploCloud platform, they are given access to the individual resources within that tenant on a need-basis, as described in the next section.

Beyond Tenant-level access, there are three additional user types:

* ReadOnly
* Administrator
* Security Auditor, who only views the monitoring aspects of security.

Users can also create groups in Microsoft AD or Okta that can be mapped to Tenants in DuploCloud. All administration can be performed from AD or Okta.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/security-and-compliance/access-control-2/application-environment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
