Logging in to Publisher

Authentication System

Publisher uses Passport, DNAstack's digital identity management system, to handle user authentication and permissions. Passport is specifically designed for federated data environments where data is distributed across multiple locations and organizations.

Login Requirements

Publisher currently requires a Google account for authentication through Single Sign-On (SSO). Important notes about authentication:

• A Google account is mandatory for Publisher access

• This login is separate from your data source credentials

• Your Publisher login does not affect or interact with your cloud resource access configurations

If you do not currently have a Google account, you can follow this guide to register your email address with a Google account.

Login Process

1. Navigate to your Publisher instance

2. Click "Log in with Passport"

3. Select "Sign in with Google"

4. Choose your Google account

When you sign in, DNAstack receives only basic profile information (name, email, and profile image). This process does not grant Google any permissions to resources connected through Publisher.

After successful authentication, you'll be directed to the Collections page, which displays your Publisher's available Collections.
