Summary

Authentik is an open-source Identity Provider (IdP) designed to unify identity management across both human and non-human users, replacing traditional IdPs like Okta, Keycloak, and Ping. Developed by Authentik Security, this platform addresses the growing need for managing "non-human identities" by offering service accounts with expiring tokens and comprehensive role-based access control (RBAC) permissions, allowing for precise management of access to applications and infrastructure. Authentik emphasizes automation over manual, error-prone processes, providing APIs for every action and enabling users to manage both human and non-human identities seamlessly within a single system. By using widely accepted standards, Authentik ensures that non-human users receive the same security capabilities and restrictions as human users, thus streamlining identity and access management while maintaining high security levels.
