Third-Party Applications¶
Third party authentication is a great way to help your users to login to Zammad more easily. If the account is yet unknown, Zammad will create a new user automatically, without the user needed to interact (e.g. type in his name). Another big advantage of this feature is that your user doesn’t need to remember another password.

We’re currently missing documentation for the following login providers:
Tipp
You can deactivate logging in via Password Login if any of above mentioned authentication providers are enabled in your instance.
Automatic account link on initial logon¶
In general there’s two possible options for Zammad on how to deal with already known users as they try to authenticate against a third-party application. By default, Zammad will not automatically link „unknown“ authentication providers to existing accounts.
This means that the user has to manually link authentication providers to their accounts (for more about this consult the user documentation).
Sometimes this doesn’t come in handy as this also means you’ll receive error messages about „email address being in use already“ for (yet) unknown third-party authentication methods.
If you want to allow your users to always be able to log in, no matter what,
you may want to enable Automatic account link on initial logon
