# Authentication Authorization is the process by which users' access and actions are restricted within the system, based on their login details. **Single Sign On** allows users to access multiple applications without the need for multiple passwords. ### Single Sign On Using SAML [SAML](/asm-hermes/integrate/managing-integration/single-sign-on-using-saml.md) is an identity federation standard language that enables SSO to access web applications with enhanced security. It limits potential risks by eliminating the need for extra web application passwords by establishing a trust between the ASM app and the Organization's Federated Identity system(s). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
