Managing organization access
CoreWeave supports several authentication methods to CKS for organization users.

Managed Auth refers to a series of CoreWeave provided tools to simplify authentication in order to offer customers flexible, easy-to-manage methods of authorization management.
SAML/SSO
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a protocol that enables the Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication method to allow organization users to easily identify themselves to services like CoreWeave Kubernetes Service and the CoreWeave Cloud Console. CoreWeave supports SAML/SSO as an organization-wide authentication method.
