The service provider would be Salesforce. In the scenario above, the identity provider would be the IdP that Wizova uses, Auth0. Service Provider - Trusts the identity provider and authorizes the given user to access the requested resource. Identity Provider - Performs authentication and passes the user's identity and authorization level to the service provider. It is an XML-based open-standard for transferring identity data between two parties: an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language.

Once you sign in to this dashboard, you're presented with the icons of all of the external services the company uses: Salesforce, Expensify, Jira, AWS, and more. They've given you a work email address and access to a dashboard.
You just started working at a new company, Wizova. Before jumping into the technical jargon, let's look at an example that demonstrates what SAML is and why it's beneficial.
