Hello, Using Version 8.0.6 I’m trying to setup my user authentication in my Perspective project but the “Identity Provider” drop-down is completely missing in my Project settings. I’ve gone through every Security setting on the gateway and compared it with a project that does work, but can’t find anything that is different. In designer, under Project Properties / Perspective / General. The settings look like: … Launch Icon Project Timezone Session Timeout … whereas the working project I’m comparing to has: … Launch Icon Project Timezone **Identity Provider** Session Timeout … Any thoughts on what setting could make this option is completely disappear? Thanks David ---

Hi all, I have the exact same issue, also on Ignition v8.0.6. The “Identity Provider” was initially in my project properties settings but have now disappeared after I was playing around with some Gateway settings. How do I get it back without doing a full gateway restore? ---

Identity providers are now configured at the root ‘Properties / General’ level, rather than being Perspective-specific. There’s a couple reasons for this - besides being more correct, since we’re planning to eventually migrate Vision to IdPs, it also allowed us to fix some compatibility bugs when restoring projects across different gateways. ---

It would be helpful if the Inductive University video was updated. This cost me more than a couple of minutes because the video is very explicit about how to manage this option and I could not reconcile the difference. Thank you for the information. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/f/fb27bc44f6d400be0b73e1a3d5a61031beeb78c9.png) ---

Thanks for bringing that to our attention - I’ll work on getting that updated. Sorry about the confusion ---
