# Introduction

### Enhancing Security & User Experience with the New Admin UI

At Solar Archive, we are committed to continuously improving security, usability, and overall customer experience. The new Admin UI introduces: ✅ A stronger security model with OAuth 2.0 authentication

✅ A more intuitive landing page with better insights

✅ Improved Distributor, Partner, Tenant, and Settings management tools

### Security Model: Transitioning to OAuth 2.0 for Authentication

Previously, customers could create and manage locally stored usernames and passwords within our software. This method posed security risks such as password leaks and unauthorized access. With the new Admin UI, all users are transitioning to OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring modern, secure, and seamless login experiences.

### Key Benefits of OAuth 2.0

✅ Stronger Security – Eliminates security risks associated with locally stored passwords.\
✅ Flexible Identity Provider (IDP) Selection – Authenticate via Microsoft Azure AD, Google, Okta, or other IDPs.

✅ Single Sign-On (SSO) Compatibility – Users log in via their existing corporate authentication provider.

✅ Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) – Permissions are centrally managed within the Admin UI.

✅ Seamless User Experience – No need to manage separate credentials — just log in via a trusted IDP.
