Overview

An identity provider (IdP) is typically the source of truth for user profile information, especially first name, last name, and email address. As users log into NovoEd using single sign-on (SSO), the identity provider sends NovoEd the user's first name, last name, and email address. This information is updated in the user's profile each time they sign in with SSO. Because a user's name is sent by the IdP, it is standard practice that organizations lock users' ability to update their name.

Directions
