As a SPoC, you are uniquely positioned to ensure your church's users have a great experience using the Platform. And to use the Platform, people have to be able to log in. Make logging in as simple as possible so your users can use the Platform to serve your people well!

• User access to MinistryPlatform depends on the Security Roles connected to their User record. It is your responsibility to manage these items appropriately for your users.
• When you enable Simple Sign-on, users can use their email, phone, or username to log in. Turn this on through the Domain record. This is a helpful option for your users and we strongly recommend you turn it on.
• Your server's Domain record controls the password requirements for MinistryPlatform. Check out the User password requirements section to learn more about the various password requirement options and how to change the requirement for your context.
• On the server, you can customize the length of inactivity allowed prior to requiring reauthentication. Contact Support for information on how to update this setting.
• You can allow people to log in using External Authentication, such as Facebook or Google credentials. Right now, this external authentication is only for MinistryPlatform. All other applications (such as BMT and Check-In) only support the username and password set in the Platform. To increase security, this external authentication feature replaced the Auto-Login URL feature.
