Authentication/Authorization Management

KnowHow supports multiple source for Authentication and 4 different kind of roles for Authorization.

Authentication

On the Login screen, the user can select Standard login or AD login to authenticate him/her-self

Any individual can self-sign on a KnowHow instance. You can use the login page to register a user specifying user name, password, and email.
