# Authentication Methods
|
|
|
|
An authentication method is a method configured for an Organization to authenticate Users.
|
|
The configuration of an Authentication Method may contain secrets.
|
|
Zero or one Authentication Method can be configured to create Users.
|
|
Creation of Groups may be added later.
|
|
An Authentication Method is owned by one and only one Organization.
|
|
An Authentication Method creates and references zero or more Users.
|
|
An Authentication Method is deleted when the Organization it belongs to is deleted.
|
|
The lifecycle of an Authentication Method is not tied to the lifecycle of any User.
