Identity & Access

Files.com provides the authentication and access controls that govern who can connect to your site and what they can do. We enforce the supported sign-in requirements, account status, and permissions configured for your deployment. Those controls cover access to files as well as authority to administer the site.

Authentication establishes identity; authorization determines permitted actions. Provisioning creates and maintains user accounts and group memberships so that changes in employment, partner relationships, or responsibilities can be reflected in access.

Your organization decides who should have access, selects authentication requirements, and assigns permissions. We support locally managed accounts and integrations with your identity provider so that you can manage access throughout an account's lifecycle.

We govern our own employees' access through our separate internal identity and access controls. Our data-protection and privacy practices apply to the information we handle through the service.
