Identity federations

Written by

Updated at January 28, 2025

Using Yandex Cloud Organization, you can configure Single Sign-On authentication in Yandex Cloud through your Identity Provider, such as Active Directory or Google Workspace.

This authentication approach is called an identity federation: company employees use their corporate accounts and only authenticate in the corporate authentication system. To access resources in Yandex Cloud, they don't need Yandex ID accounts.

For operations within an identity federation, the Identity Provider must support the SAML 2.0 standard.
