Trimble Identity concepts

Concept	Details
Data Residency	Data residency refers to the physical or geographic location of a user or organization’s data or information. With Trimble ID, users can select their data region where their Trimble ID information is stored, and applications can retrieve the users’ data storage region preference from the id and access tokens. More information can be found on the Data Residency page.
Grant Types	Grants are the means of retrieving an access token. OAuth2.0 defines different workflows to obtain an access token. For more details, refer to the Grant Types Concept topic.
Federation	Federation is a type of secure log-in where a user’s single authentication ticket, or token, is trusted across multiple IT systems or even organizations.
Internationalization	End users can define personal language preference for rendering UI, email, or any other communications sent to them. For more information, refer to the Supported Languages topic.
JWK	JSON Web Keys (JWK) sets are used to validate the signature and the authenticity of a token. This is provided by Trimble Identity.
JWT	JSON web token (JWT) is a standard for securely transmitting information between parties. For example, id_token is a JWT. For information on JWT, refer to the JWT Concepts.
Managed Users	Managed users is an alternate authentication method for users that do not have an email address as the login.Trimble Identity requires the use of Profiles for this workflow to be used.
Multi-factor authentication	Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides a method to verify a user’s Identity by requiring them to provide more than one piece of identifying information. This ensures that only valid users can access their accounts.
Social Account Login	Trimble Identity also allows users to sign in using their existing social account IDs like Google and Apple.
Supported Protocols	Trimble Identity currently supports OAuth2.0 & Open ID Connect. For more details, refer to the Supported Protocols Concept topic.
