Account

Your account with OneLogin, for example mycompany.com.

Audit trail

An audit trail logs all important activity in your account, such as login activity or blocked users.

App

App is short for application and means a site with a web-based application that you log into and use for a particular purpose.

Connector

A connector defines how OneLogin logs a user into an application, e.g. username/password or OpenID, the login URL, the icon etc. Unless you configure custom connectors, you don't need to understand this concept.

Group

A group is a collection of users, such as Sales and are used for delegating administration of users. For example, the head of Sales may be managing which apps the salespeople have access to.

Login

A login defines a user's credentials for an app. For example, if a user has the role Sales and Sales has the apps Salesforce.com and WebEx, that user will have two logins; one for each app.

One-time password

A one-time password is a password that can only be used once. The advantage of one-time passwords is that even if an eavesdropper gets hold of it, it cannot be used again.

Policy

Policies define password requirements as well as which IP addresses a user, group or company can access OneLogin from. 

Role

A role defines which apps a user of a given type has access to, for example Sales or Engineering (more).

User

A user is an individual in your organization, such as Peter or Maria.

User type

There are three different types of users: regular users, group admins and admins.
