User authentication

Let’s learn how to sign-up and sign-in on SPEKTRA Edge.

The previous topic, the user and group management, discussed how to manage users with groups and role bindings. In fact, that’s one side of the coin of the user management. The other side, the user sign-up and sign-in, is the topic in this page.

SPEKTRA Edge user authentication is the multi-factor authentication (MFA) with Google Sign-in support. Let’s learn how it works step-by-step both for the Google accounts and for the E-mail/password based authentication.
