Today's upgrade contains three major new features that we are very excited about.

  • Support for VeriSign VIP Access Identity Protection
  • Multiple roles per user
  • Synchronization with Google Apps users

Let's dig in.

VeriSign VIP Access

VeriSign VIP Access is great for mobile users or if you need two-factor authentication via a computer that doesn't have a USB port, such as an Apple iPad.

The use of VeriSign VIP Access is provided free of charge for users on our paid plan.

Multiple Roles per User

This is by far the most requested feature by our users and now it's finally here. WIth multiple roles per user you can now break your roles down into smaller and more manageable entities and create layers of apps. Consider the following roles:

  • Employee: Google Apps, PBworks
  • Salesperson: Salesforce.com, PivotLink
  • Support: Zendesk, GetSatisfaction, CoTweet
  • Marketing: HubSpot, Google Analytics

The employee apps are used by everyone, but we have different roles for different departments. This setup will allow you to allocate apps to users the following way:

  • Amanda: Employee, Marketing - Google Apps, PBworks, HubSpot, Google Analytics
  • Peter: Employee, Salesperson - Google Apps, PBworks, Salesforce, PivotLink
  • Hannah: Employee, Salesperson - Google Apps, PBworks, Salesforce, PivotLink
  • Mark: Employee, Support - Google Apps, PBworks, Zendesk, GetSatisfaction, CoTweet
  • Joe: Employee, Support - Google Apps, PBworks, Zendesk, GetSatisfaction, CoTweet

You can even have overlapping roles, i.e. a user can have two roles with the same app. OneLogin will automatically figure out when to grant or revoke the app. Read more about roles here.

OneLogin already integrates with Active Directory and LDAP, but companies that are purely cloud-based often use Google Apps as their Directory. OneLogin can now synchronize the users in OneLogin with your users in Google Apps. 

You can configure whether deleted users are also automatically deleted in OneLogin or merely disabled. Google Apps User Synchronization for cloud purists.
