External Identity Management
Form ID: MY.SM.20.65
The External Identity Management form is where you can manage the association between an MYOB Acumatica account with an external identity. An external identity is a two-factor authentication account that is created and maintained outside of MYOB Acumatica. This includes accounts with MYOB ID, which is the default 2FA provider for MYOB Acumatica. By associating these two accounts, you can sign in to MYOB Acumatica with 2FA.
Most users can only manage the association for their own accounts. To manage the association for other users, you need to have been assigned the External Identity Manager role on the Users form (SM.20.10.10).
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 |
|---|---|
| Forbid Login With Password | If you've been assigned both the Administrator and External Identity Manager roles with the Full User licence type, you can select this to prevent a user from signing in with only their MYOB Acumatica username and password. Instead, they need to sign in with a 2FA account or with single sign-on, depending on what has been set up for the site. The default 2FA provider for MYOB Acumatica is MYOB ID. |
| 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're an external identity manager, 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.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Checkbox | Select the checkbox to enable the actions on the toolbar. If you have the Eternal Identity Manager role, you can select multiple users and perform an action for all of them at once. |
| User | The user account created in MYOB Acumatica. |
| Provider | The 2FA provider supported by MYOB Acumatica. If your site uses the default MYOB 2FA solution, the provider is MYOBID. |
| User Key | The unique identifier of the user account to be used for SSO with the external identity provider. The system gets your user key from the identity provider when you click Associate External Identity and sign in to your 2FA account. |
| Forbid Login With Password | If this is selected, it means the user must sign in using 2FA. |
