| 6 | # Auth |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Auth is the authentication and identity service for your product. It handles signing |
| 9 | users in, their accounts, and their sessions, so you don't have to build or run that |
| 10 | part yourself. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## What you can do |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - Sign users in and let them create accounts |
| 15 | - Manage sessions and accounts |
| 16 | - Run hosted auth apps for your end-user accounts |
| 17 | - Manage collaborators and shared access where it applies |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ## Two kinds of accounts |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Keep these separate as you read: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - **Your smbCloud account** — how you sign in to the platform. |
| 24 | - **Auth app users** — the end users who sign in to *your* product through an |
| 25 | auth app you run on smbCloud. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | When a screen or guide talks about "users", check which of the two it means. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ## Getting started |
| 30 | |
| 31 | 1. Create an auth app for your product. |
| 32 | 2. Wire your app to its sign-in and account flows. |
| 33 | 3. Manage users and access from the console. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Building against Auth from code? The SDKs live in the |
| 36 | [Developer](/developer) section. |
