Zendesk Authentication Options Update Explained

Discover the new changes to Zendesk's authentication options for end users and team members, simplifying sign-in configurations.

What changes have been made to Zendesk's authentication options?

Zendesk has simplified the process for configuring authentication settings for both end users and team members. Now, the authentication pages for both groups look and behave the same, making it easier for admins to manage sign-in methods. For end users, social sign-ins can be enabled without requiring Zendesk authentication, and all SSO options can be turned on independently. For team members, business sign-ins and custom SSO methods can be used together, offering more flexibility.
