Authentication & IdP Connectors

Learn how to enable users to access a cluster using their preferred identity provider.

Pachyderm has an embedded Open ID Connect based on Dex, allowing for vendor-neutral authentication using your existing credentials from various back-ends. You can enable users to authenticate to a Pachyderm cluster using their favorite Identity Providers by following the articles in this section.

When you enable authentication, you gain access to Pachyderm’s authorization features. You can use Pachyderm’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model to configure authorization for your users and assign roles that grant certain permissions for interacting with Pachyderm’s resources.
