Questions about this workflow
What information does single sign on return?
CommCare can return a user profile with information including roles, permissions, locations, and configuration details.
Does this create a user or change account permissions?
No. The available action validates credentials and retrieves a profile. It does not create users or modify permissions.
What if credentials are not available to the automation?
The credentials must be supplied through the connected workflow context. Notis cannot validate a login without them.
