Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Julianna, CTO and co-founder of Stytch. We’re a developer-first identity and access management platform that makes it easy for companies to build authentication into their apps and websites – all without compromising security. Today, we’re excited to launch Stytch B2B Authentication, the first and only authentication solution that has built-in organization tenancy for B2B businesses. Our B2B solution allows developers to build enterprise-level customization for authentication directly into their application or platform out of the box – no extra backend infrastructure or maintenance required. B2B authentication has significantly more complex requirements than B2C (which relies on a simple concept of users) whereas B2B authentication is built on the concept of Organizations and Members. But authentication vendors today aren’t architected to support that core concept, and instead put the onus of building an Org/Member data model back on their customers. The result is weeks of additional developer time just to get core functions like provisioning, permissions, and org-specific auth settings. That’s why when we built our B2B authentication solution, we built organization tenancy directly into our architecture. Our Organization-first approach handles the heavy lifting of building B2B authentication and unlocks key authentication functionality for businesses, enables a better UX for your end-users, and provides an overall improved developer experience. What’s included as a part of Stytch’s solution? 🏢Organization-based tenancy: We’ve built Organizations and members directly into our architecture and data models, making it easy to build B2B authentication out of the box –no extra back-end logic assembly required. 🔒Enterprise SSO: We enable single sign on (SSO) with both OIDC and SAML protocols, so your customers can require their end users to authenticate to your application via their centralized Identity Provider (IdP). ⚙️Organization settings: With our data model, each organization can fully control and customize user provisioning, access, and permissions. They can set approved auth methods, restrictions for invitations, and just-in-time (JIT) provisioning for user accounts. 🔎Organization discovery: Our organization discovery feature allows end users to easily discover all of the Organizations that they have a membership to during the authentication process. To learn more about our B2B Authentication solution, check out our documentation here: https://stytch.com/docs/b2b/home Have any feedback? Our team would love to hear from you!

Pretty cool! Congrats @jelamb ! I can see how this specific product can be useful even for early-stage companies starting to integrate with large orgs. We may want to give it a try sometime soon.

@sandrino Happy to share more about how we see the differences between Auth0's concept of Organizations and an organization tenancy model like our approach. Auth0 treats the User as the top level entity and as such it exits as a shared entity across multiple Organizations -- which is counter to the concept of multi-tenancy, where the entities need to be logically distinct and separated. Outside of that pedantic definition, there are tangible use cases where the User as the top level entity results in pretty serious limitations -- most notably the ability to enforce distinct, org-specific authentication requirements while still allowing individuals to be part of multiple organizations.
Sandrino Di Mattia
@jelamb using Auth0 Organizations developers can choose to adopt the isolated model which you describe above (eg: the model used by Slack, Workday, BambooHR, ...) or to use a shared model, where users can be part of multiple tenants (eg: the model used by Atlassian, AWS, GitHub, ...). The other use case you describe is a basic requirement for multi-tenancy. Some tenants might simply need username/password authentication, others will want to also require MFA, while others will want to bring their own IdP. Tenant level authentication policies have been part of Auth0 Organizations since the feature was initially released.

@acarro us too! stay tuned for more!

Excited to send this to our engineering teams! B2B auth is always one of things that are key requirements to certain deals for us, but we'd rather just install rather than build in house...
