Hi Team,

I could find that there are 2 ways of authentication currently as per documentation - https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1797923/TVsvi7G2 

We are looking for a documentation to integrate Saviynt API endpoints with IDP to allow federated authentication for service accounts that needs to use Saviynt API’s.

Appreciate the insights.

@Sivagami one option is to use OpenID connect where IDP can be used to authenticate/authorize and then Saviynt generates Access_Token that can be used for API authentication.
