In Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM), enterprise federation plays a central role in enabling B2B and SaaS businesses to successfully onboard, manage, and securely support their business customers and their end-users.
Auth0 by Okta tenants can have millions of user records per customer, often split across thousands of enterprise federations with third-party identity providers (IdPs).
