Authentication overview

The Authentication Overview page (route /authentication-overview) is the top of the Authentication section. It lists every upstream identity provider your organisation’s issuer federates, shows the operational status of each one, and lets you change its administrative state.

Purpose

Authentication Overview is a single table of all upstream identity providers on your issuer: the Agilicus-managed shared providers, your custom OpenID Connect providers, and any onsite or application providers you have configured. For each one it shows the issuer URI it federates against, whether it is currently operational, and whether it is administratively active. You can change the administrative status of a provider directly from this screen without opening its own configuration page.

The upstream providers themselves are configured on the Shared Identity, Custom Identity, Onsite Identity, and Application Identity screens. This page is where their status comes together. The concepts behind it are described in Identity and authentication.

Why use it

See at a glance which identity providers your users can authenticate with, and whether each is healthy.
Put a provider into a disabled or testing state without leaving the overview.
Answer which providers does this organisation actually federate? during a review or audit.

When to use it

When you are setting up authentication for the first time and want to confirm the providers you enabled are visible and active.
When a provider stops working and you want to check its operational status alongside the authentication audit.
When you need to temporarily disable a provider (for example during a maintenance window) or retire one.

Prerequisite: permission to administer issuers (an owner or administrator role). The page shows a no permissions message otherwise.

How to use it

Open Authentication > Overview from the left navigation.
Read the table. Each row is one upstream identity provider with its type icon, name, issuer URI, operational status, and admin status.

To change a provider’s administrative state, open the Admin status dropdown on its row and select the new state.

The change saves immediately and the issuer updates asynchronously. Confirm it after a few seconds by reloading the page.

The columns can be customised through the table controls (the table-rows icon), which opens the column visibility menu.

Fields and controls reference

Column	Purpose	Required	Default	Valid values	Notes
Type	The kind of upstream identity provider	Read-only	n/a	Shared (managed), OIDC, local auth (connector), application	Shown as an icon with a tooltip
Name	The provider’s display name	Read-only	n/a	Provider-specific	Same name used on its configuration page
Issuer	The issuer URI the provider authenticates against	Read-only	n/a	A URI such as `https://accounts.google.com`
Operational status	Whether the provider is currently reporting good health	Read-only	n/a	Good (and other statuses as reported)	Diagnostic, set by the platform
Admin status	Whether the provider is administratively active	Editable	active	active, deleted, disabled, testing	Change applies immediately

Dialogs and popups

There are no dialogs on this screen. The Admin status column uses an inline dropdown, and the table controls open the column customisation menu.

Configuration versus diagnostics versus confirmation

Configuration: changing Admin status is the only configuration on this screen. The rest of each provider’s settings live on its own configuration page.
Diagnostics: the Operational status column is diagnostic and is reported by the platform; you cannot change it here.
Confirmation: there are no destructive actions on this screen. Deleting providers happens on the individual identity pages.

Pagination and async behaviour

The table pages at 25 rows per page. The paginator shows the total, for example 1 – 2 of 2; use Next or a page number when there are more than 25 providers.
Admin status changes apply asynchronously. After selecting a new status, wait a few seconds and reload to confirm the change.

Troubleshooting

A provider shows a non-good operational status: check the provider’s configuration on its identity page and review sign-in attempts in the authentication audit.
A provider is missing from the overview: check whether it is enabled on the relevant identity page (for example the checkbox on Shared Identity).
I cannot change the admin status: confirm you have issuer administration permission; otherwise the controls are read-only.
Users can no longer sign in after a change: check that you did not set a provider to deleted or disabled accidentally; the change is immediate.
