About Zoho Directory
Zoho Directory is a cloud-based identity and access management platform designed to streamline authentication, authorization, and user management for organizations.
It offers Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities, allowing employees to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials, thereby enhancing security and user convenience.
The platform supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. Device authentication ensures secure access to both applications and devices, enabling employees to use the same credentials across platforms.
Zoho Directory also provides robust provisioning features, allowing IT administrators to create and manage user profiles across various applications directly from the platform, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks. Integration with existing directories, such as Microsoft Active Directory and Azure AD, is facilitated through directory stores.
