About Claris ID
Note The following information is for team managers.
The Claris ID integrated sign-on system authenticates Claris Connect and FileMaker Server users and users of FileMaker custom apps hosted by FileMaker Cloud.
Setting up authentication
In Claris Customer Console:
- FileMaker Cloud: Add Claris ID users to the team associated with the FileMaker Cloud host. Team managers can then invite those users to join their FileMaker Cloud team.
- Claris Connect: Invite users to join Claris Connect teams. If users don’t have a Claris ID, they are asked to create one.
- FileMaker Server: Invite users to join FileMaker Server teams. If users don’t have a Claris ID, they are asked to create one.
Hosting custom apps in FileMaker Cloud
For users of custom apps hosted by FileMaker Cloud, create groups of those users. In Claris FileMaker Pro, create and grant Claris ID account access for groups or individual users who will work with the file. See Creating and editing account access. Then, host the custom app using FileMaker Cloud. See Uploading, encrypting, and opening database files. Users can work with the custom apps for which they have been granted access.
Notes
- For FileMaker Cloud and Claris Connect, users can also be authenticated by an external identity provider (IdP). To set up authentication, see Using an external identity provider to authenticate Claris ID accounts.
- To use the Claris FileMaker Data API, the Claris FileMaker Admin API, or OData API with FileMaker Cloud, you must authenticate using your Claris ID. See Using Claris ID for external authentication.
