User Authentication

Transformer can authenticate user accounts in several ways.

If you have an enterprise account, you typically use Control Hub authentication to access Transformer. You log in to Transformer using the authentication type configured for the Control Hub organization.

If you are not using Control Hub to access Transformer, you can configure Transformer to use LDAP authentication or file-based authentication. Best practice is to use LDAP authentication, particularly for a production deployment of Transformer. By default, Transformer uses file-based authentication.

Transformer provides several roles that determine the actions that users can perform. The steps you use to assign roles to user accounts vary, based on whether you are using LDAP or file-based authentication.
