# SAML for Multi-Tenant Deployments

In Cortex XSOAR 6.13, authenticate multi-tenant users with SAML 2.0.

You can authenticate your Cortex XSOAR users using SAML 2.0 authentication with your identity provider, such as Okta. You need to define Cortex XSOAR authentication in your Identity Provider’s account, then create a SAML 2.0 instance in Cortex XSOAR. In some cases, you may need to provide some users with access to the main account and other users access only to a tenant account. You can do this by configuring SAML separately for the main account and for the tenant account.

If you need to provide User A access to the main account and tenant account, and User B access to only a tenant account, we recommend configuring one SAML integration on the main account (do not propagate to tenants) and a separate SAML integration on the tenant account. User A receives the URL for the main account and can access both main and tenant account. User B receives the URL for the tenant account and does not have access to main. If we want User C to also have access to only the tenant account, but with more limited permissions, we can configure the SAML integration on the tenant to restrict User C to the default analyst role or a custom role we create.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.13/onboard-multi-tenant/plan-your-multi-tenant-deployment/saml-for-multi-tenant-deployments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
