An external user management system allows you to manage users and identities from one central system. OpenCities has a connector for Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Okta Identity Cloud, and OneLogin. This module manages single sign-on for OpenCities admins, Intranet users, and password-protected sites. You can also use these systems to sync and populate your staff directory.
The External User Management module is typically used with Intranets but can be used with public websites. This module can be purchased as a premium module.
Please note that deleting a connected external user system will deactivate synced users. If you're disabling a connection, you'll need to convert your users from external to local management before deleting the external user management system.

If you have a new project in implementation that includes this module, it will automatically be installed for you. If you have an existing website and want to use the module, you need to lodge a ticket with our support team to start the process.

You'll then need to configure the module by going to More > External User Management and choosing which service you're using to manage users. OpenCities has connectors for:
If you choose to use multiple identity providers, ensure you don't duplicate user information across services. The system will take data from Azure AD first, then Okta, and then OneLogin and data taken from subsequent identity providers will overwrite the previous one.
