This authentication method provides a streamlined access point to a mentoring platform. It allows users to access the platform and its resources using one set of credentials, managed through a centralized service. For example, an employee might use their corporate login to access a mentoring program without needing to create a separate account.
The utilization of this centralized system enhances security by reducing the number of passwords each user must manage, thus minimizing the risk of password-related vulnerabilities. It also simplifies user management for the mentoring program administrators, streamlining on-boarding and off-boarding processes. Historically, managing access across disparate systems required significant IT overhead; this approach alleviates that burden.
