5.2 Connecting to Thredd Portal

You must first be set up on Cloudentity before you can access Thredd Portal.

Thredd Portal functions as a Confidential Client, where Thredd’s own application infrastructure undertakes authentication and authorisation activity on behalf of the user.

The following is a summary of steps we run:

• Thredd adds an Admin user for your organisation to Cloudentity.

• We help to set up Single Sign-On SSO with your organisation.

Your Admin user is then able to perform the following:

• Add an organisation and assign roles to the organisation.

• Add Thredd Portal users to Cloudentity.

• Add roles in Cloudentity.

For more details, refer to the Thredd Portal Guide: Getting Started.
