Overview

    Service Overview

    ID Center is a service that enables easy centralized management of access permissions for resources by account on the Samsung Cloud Platform. You can create permission policies for each service and assign accounts and policies linked to the Organization service to users, enabling management of tasks according to each user’s permissions.

    Features

    • Easy Access Permission Management: Through SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) based credential authentication, you can receive authentication and authorization from Samsung Cloud Platform and access resources of multiple accounts within the organization.
    • Efficient Account Management: By integrating with the Organization service, you can centrally manage the costs and resource usage incurred by all Accounts within the organization.
    • Account Security Enhancement: Instead of the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, you can strengthen security by using the separately provided Access Portal so that only authorized ID Center users can access. Through the Access Portal, you can fundamentally prevent users outside the customer organization from accessing the Account.
