When setting up an SSO between Mediahaven MediaHaven and the customer, the SSO will ensure that:

  1. A new user is automatically created in

...

  1. MediaHaven (if the user logs on for the first time and does not yet exist) with the default rights as configured.

  2. The IdP is used for authentication. When a user navigates to MediaHaven, the authentication request will be sent to the IdP of the customer. In this respect, if the user is not authorized, he/she will also not be able to login in MediaHaven.

Info

Based on the information above, it is important that a new user always first authenticates in MediaHaven using the SSO. This way, the user account will automatically be created. In no case should a MediaHaven account be created manually by an admin user.

Once the user account is created in MediaHaven, a MediaHaven administrative user can update rights and permissions for that particular new user account.

Note

Important: in

  1. In case an employee leaves the customer, his/her MediaHaven account will not be removed. Due to the SSO, the former employee will not be able to authenticate but the MediaHaven account will still exist. It is up to the customer to decide (and remove) the MediaHaven account manually.
