Map Users from External domains to newly created Local Accounts on Demand Tutorial

Introduction

In today’s interconnected business landscape, effectively managing system access across various authentication providers is critical, especially when working with external identity providers on different domains. Thinfinity Remote Workspace tackles this challenge with its innovative Create if it doesn’t exist feature, enabling seamless mapping of users from external identity providers to local or domain users on the host machine, even when these users are not preexisting in the host environment.

This powerful feature empowers administrators to create local or domain users on the host machine while connecting to external Identity Providers, such as Google, Office 365, Facebook, Azure AD, Okta, and Duo.

The Create if it doesn’t exist function ensures that when a verified user from an external domain logs in, Thinfinity Remote Workspace captures their external ID and automatically generates a corresponding local account on the host machine, complete with pre-established permissions as defined by the administrator.
