External User Authentication

There are different types of External User Authentication that can be configured by the Administrator to log users into Sintelix.

In the example below, clicking the Login with sintelix.com button will allow the user to quickly log in using their Microsoft user credentials.

Selecting the Login with user name and password option will display the standard Sintelix Log In dialog.

You manage your user login, for example, resetting your password, using the external authentication methods.
