About the Identity Providers Page
An identity provider enables you to log in to multiple applications by using the same username and password.
Paragon Automation allows you to use OpenID Connect and Google to provide the authentication services; that is, you can use the username and password of your Google account to log in to Paragon Automation.
To access this page, click Administration > Authentication > Identity Providers on the left navigation menu.
