Funnelback users in the DXP
DXP user accounts
The DXP supports the use of a compatible SAML provider for authenticating users into the DXP administration. If you wish to use your own SAML for admin authentication please contact your account manager.
| SAML is used only for logon authentication only. The individual users must still be set up from within the DXP console and have their permission roles assigned as part of the setup. |
