# Add Identity Providers
Identity providers can be configured from the Server Admin panel.
Identity providers let you authenticate Pangolin users using external identity providers. This is useful for organizations that want to use their existing identity provider infrastructure to manage user authentication.
For example, you may have users defined in Authentik, and you want these users to be able to log in to Pangolin using their existing credentials.
### Supported Identity Providers
- OAuth2/OIDC
- This can be used to connect to any external identity provider that supports the OpenID Connect protocol such as Authentik, Keycloak, Okta, etc.
### How to Add an Identity Provider
1. Select the "Identity Providers" tab in the Server Admin UI.
2. Click on the "Add Identity Provider" button.
3. Select the type of identity provider you want to add.
4. Fill in the required fields for the selected identity provider type.
### Auto Provisioning
See [Auto Provision](./02-auto-provision.md) for more information on how to automatically provision users in Pangolin when they log in using an external identity provider.

# Auto Provision (Professional)
Auto provisioning is a feature that allows you to automatically create and manage user accounts in Pangolin when they log in using an external identity provider. This is useful for organizations that want to streamline the onboarding process for new users and ensure that their user accounts are always up-to-date.
You will be able to programatically decide the roles and organizations for new users based on the information provided by the identity provider.
## Enable Auto Provision
Toggle the "Auth Provision Users" switch when creating or editing an identity provider.
## What if Auto Provisioning is Disabled?
If auto provision is disabled, organization admins will need to manually create the user accounts and select the role for each user. When creating a user, you can select the identity provider that the user will be associated with. A user will not be able to log in using the identity provider if a user is not pre-provisioned in the system.
## Selection Algorithm
It helpful to think of the auto provisioning process as follows:
1. User successfully logs in using an identity provider.
2. Pangolin creates a user account for the user.
3. Pangolin will loop through each organization.
4. For each organization, Pangolin will evaluate the JMESPath expression for the organization. If the expression does not return true or the same ID as the current organization, the user will not be added to the organization.
5. For each organization, Pangolin will evaluate the JMESPath expression for the role. If no role is found with the exact name in that organization, the user will not be added to the organization.
## Organization Policies
You can configure policy for each organization with its own roles selector expression and organization selector expression.
## Default (Fallback) Policy
You can optionally configure a default policy for all organizations. This will be used if the organization does not have its own policy configured.
## Selecting Roles
Use JMESPath to map attributes from the identity provider to roles in Pangolin. See [JMESPath](https://jmespath.org/) for more information on how to use JMESPath.
The expression will be matched against each organization. Meaning:
- The result of the expression must return the exact string of the role name as it is defined in the organization.
- If no matching role is found, the user will not be added to the organization.
### Example
```
contains(groups, 'admin') && 'Admin' || 'Member'
```
```json
{
...
"sub": "9590c3bfccd1b1a54b35845fb1bb950057dfa50fba43cb8bada58b462c80e207",
"aud": "JJoSvHCZcxnXT2sn6CObj6a21MuKNRXs3kN5wbys",
"exp": 1745790819,
"iat": 1745789019,
"auth_time": 1745789019,
"email": "user@example.com",
"email_verified": true,
"name": "Example User",
"groups": [
"home-lab",
"admin"
]
}
```
This example will return the string "Admin". If the user is not a member of the "admin" group, it will return "Member".
## Selecting Organizations
Use JMESPath to map attributes from the identity provider to organizations in Pangolin. See [JMESPath](https://jmespath.org/) for more information on how to use JMESPath.
The expression will be matched against each organization. Meaning:
- The result of the expression must return true or the organization ID as it is defined in the system.
- If no matching organization is found, the user will not be added to the organization.
You can insert the template variable `{{orgId}}` in the expression. This will be replaced with the organization ID when the expression is evaluated.
### Example 1
```
contains(groups, 'home-lab')
```
```json
{
...
"sub": "9590c3bfccd1b1a54b35845fb1bb950057dfa50fba43cb8bada58b462c80e207",
"aud": "JJoSvHCZcxnXT2sn6CObj6a21MuKNRXs3kN5wbys",
"exp": 1745790819,
"iat": 1745789019,
"auth_time": 1745789019,
"email": "user@example.com",
"email_verified": true,
"name": "Example User",
"groups": [
"home-lab",
"admin"
]
}
```
This example will return true since the user is a member of the "home-lab" group.
### Example 2
```
'home-lab'
```
```json
{
...
"sub": "9590c3bfccd1b1a54b35845fb1bb950057dfa50fba43cb8bada58b462c80e207",
"aud": "JJoSvHCZcxnXT2sn6CObj6a21MuKNRXs3kN5wbys",
"exp": 1745790819,
"iat": 1745789019,
"auth_time": 1745789019,
"email": "user@example.com",
"email_verified": true,
"name": "Example User",
"groups": [
"home-lab",
"admin"
]
}
```
This example will always return 'home-lab' meaning the user will always be added to the "home-lab" organization.
### Example 3
```
contains(groups, '{{orgId}}')
```
```json
{
...
"sub": "9590c3bfccd1b1a54b35845fb1bb950057dfa50fba43cb8bada58b462c80e207",
"aud": "JJoSvHCZcxnXT2sn6CObj6a21MuKNRXs3kN5wbys",
"exp": 1745790819,
"iat": 1745789019,
"auth_time": 1745789019,
"email": "user@example.com",
"email_verified": true,
"name": "Example User",
"groups": [
"home-lab",
"admin"
]
}
```
The `{{orgId}}` placeholder will be replaced with the organization ID when the expression is evaluated.

# OAuth2/OIDC
This identity provider follows the OpenID Connect protocol. This means that it can be used to connect to any external identity provider that supports the OpenID Connect protocol such as Authentik, Keycloak, Okta, etc.
## Configuration
You will need to configure the following common settings:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Authorization URL
- Token URL
## Token Configuration
Use JMESPath to select attributes from the claims token. See [JMESPath](https://jmespath.org/) for more information on how to use JMESPath.
Determine how to access information from the claims token returned by the identity provider. This is used to map the user information from the identity provider to the user information in Pangolin.
- Identifer Path
- This must be unique each user within an identity provider.
- Email Path
- Name Path
- Scopes
- The scopes to request from the identity provider.
- Generally, `openid profile email` is sufficient.
