# Identity Providers

Marple supports two identity provider (IdP) options:

### **1. Your IdP, using OAuth**

If you have an authentication system that is OAuth compliant or supports OpenID Connect, we can integrate your own authentication system into Marple Insight.

This means that users will be redirected to the external IdP for authentication and if login is successful, Marple grants access. Additional access controls can be applied based on token fields.

Examples of external authentication systems we support are:

* KeyCloak
* Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Active Directory)
* Amazon SSO
* Google OAuth

The IdP can be used for:

1. User authentication
2. (Optional) Blocking/allowing access to Marple in general
3. (Optional) Access control to workspaces
4. (Optional) Role definition (see [Account Types](/docs/marple-insight/user-manuals/team-and-accounts/account-types.md))

### **2. Built-in IdP**

We can also authenticate users via our built-in authentication system for Marple using [Auth0](https://auth0.com/). This method is recommended for smaller teams.
