Login options in Dataedo Web Catalog

Based on the configuration, there are multiple ways of accessing Dataedo Web Catalog.

1. With Active Directory or Local Windows login and password.

Auth flow

Auth flow is different for a different method. Starting from version 10.2, the authorization is done with Permissions in Dataedo Web Catalog.

Please note, that checking if login is in User Group for SQL Server is in fact, checking if login belongs to the user, who is in the Users Group (since for SQL Server login and user are not always the same).
