Cloud IAM Community Version is the fastest way to explore identity and access management without waiting on procurement or enterprise onboarding. You get the core features of a modern, scalable IAM platform — user authentication, role-based access control, API keys, OAuth, SAML integration — all without a license fee.

The Community Version isn’t a stripped-down demo. It includes full tenant management, fine-grained permissions, audit logs, and policy enforcement. You can connect it to your existing authentication providers, sync users through SCIM, and manage access with precision. The open standards support means you can integrate it with hundreds of services and APIs without extra middleware.
