Authentication Methods for Zendesk Help Centers
Can I use different authentication methods for each Zendesk help center?
Unfortunately, you cannot use different authentication methods for each help center in Zendesk. The authentication settings apply to the entire account, meaning you can't have different SSO settings for different brands. All help centers will redirect users to the same single sign-in protocol and database.
