Summary

WorkOS Connect is a unified interface that simplifies authentication and authorization across customers, partners, and external SaaS tools by providing an end-to-end authentication solution for three common product expansion use cases: allowing third-party developers to authenticate with your application via OAuth 2.0, leveraging one identity layer across all your first-party surfaces, and standardizing customer API access via machine-to-machine tokens. With WorkOS Connect, users can be authenticated and signed in across multiple applications and vendors using a single identity service, and credentials can be provisioned for customers using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant to enable secure API access. By enabling these integrations, WorkOS Connect helps build this correctly to avoid security issues and provide a great experience for users and partners.
