External Identity Management

Form ID: MY.SM.20.65

Here you can associate your MYOB Acumatica account with a two-factor authentication (2FA) account. By associating these two accounts, you can sign in to MYOB Acumatica with 2FA. If you have the External Identity Manager role, you can also re-send users an onboarding email.

Note:

What is an external identity? A 2FA account is an external identity because it's created and maintained outside of MYOB Acumatica, no matter if your site uses the default MYOB 2FA solution or a custom solution.

To see other external identities associated with your MYOB Acumatica account (e.g. for the Microsoft Outlook add-in), go to the External Identities tab of the User Profile form (SM.20.30.10).

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.


Button	Description
Associate External Identity	Takes you to a 2FA page where you can either sign up for a new 2FA account or associate with an existing one. If you get taken to the MYOB Acumatica dashboard after clicking, your accounts were associated successfully. This only happens if you had a 2FA account that wasn't associated, but you tried signing in with the purple Secure Authentication button. If you have the Eternal Identity Manager role, clicking this for another user re-sends them an onboarding email with a link to set up 2FA.
Remove External Identity	Removes the association between an MYOB Acumatica account and 2FA account.

Main Table

The table toolbar includes only standard buttons. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar.
