Fob
Fob gives your staff and contractors one sign-in for your internal apps over OpenID Connect or SAML, and for your servers over SSH.
How Fob fits together
| Term | What it is |
|---|---|
| Organization | Your company in Fob, such as Acme. It has its own URL, https://acme.fobauth.com, which serves its sign-in pages, OpenID Connect, SAML and APIs. |
| User | Someone who signs in to your apps. Each user has one account per organization. |
| Admin | Someone who manages the organization in the console. Admins have their own console accounts, separate from users. |
| Group | A team, such as Platform or Payments. You give groups access to apps and servers. Every organization has a built-in Everyone group. |
| App | An internal app users sign in to, over OpenID Connect or SAML. |
| Identity provider | Your company's existing sign-in, such as Okta or Entra ID. Users can sign in to Fob through it. |
| Server group | A set of servers, such as Production web, that groups get SSH logins on with Access. |
Organization or project?
Some API fields and event names say project where these docs say organization, such as project.updated. They mean the same thing.
