Authentication
Multi-Method Sign-In
Add user authentication with support for multiple sign-in methods:
- Identifier + Password: Username, email, or phone number with password

- Passwordless: One-time codes delivered via email or SMS
- SAML: Enterprise authentication for B2B applications
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Enforce additional security layers when users access sensitive data or privileged features with time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) and other MFA methods.
Authorization
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Implement sophisticated authorization policies that grant resource access based on user roles or relationships to specific resources.
User Profile Access
Access user profile data after authentication to personalize the interface and enforce authorization rules.
