How authenticated access works

Connect your identity provider, define who gets access, and keep private product knowledge protected behind a secure sign-in

01

Enable authenticated access for your GitBook site and choose what to protect

02

Connect to your authentication provider with an integration or custom back-end

03

Your authentication provider determines who is allowed to access your site

04

Optionally pass user data into GitBook to offer personalized content based on who signs in
