User Store

A User Store in Zephr is a way to organize and manage users based on where their account information is stored or how they authenticate. Each user in your Zephr instance belongs to a User Store, which may represent:

• Users created directly within Zephr (internal store).
• Users logging in through a third-party identity provider, such as Okta, Azure AD or Google (amongst others) using Zephr’s JSON Web Token integration.
• Custom authentication systems you’ve integrated with Zephr.

The image below illustrates the transition from a shared user store model, where a single user store served all sites within an environment, for example, Staging or UAT, to a more robust architecture where each site has its own dedicated user store per environment and per site.

Ensure that the User Stores role is enabled in the Roles screen to make the User Stores option visible in Zephr. Owners and Administrators have this role by default. For other Admins with custom roles, enable User Stores in their role to allow management access.
