## CONTENT

Trainn allows you to control who can access your Knowledge Hub by choosing between public or private access settings. This ensures your content reaches the right audience while maintaining appropriate security levels.

**Access control options **

To control how users access your Knowledge Hub, you have two main options: **public or private access.**

### Public Knowledge Hub

Public Knowledge Hub allows anyone with the link to view content without requiring user authentication. Users can access all published content immediately upon visiting the link. This option is best used for customer help centers, product documentation, FAQs, and other educational resources that benefit from open accessibility. 

### Private Knowledge Hub 

Private Knowledge Hub restricts access to authenticated users only, ensuring controlled and secure content access. This option is best used for internal documentation, employee training materials, and confidential information.

To access Knowledge Hub content, users must authenticate first. You can choose from multiple authentication methods based on your security requirements.

1. **Email authentication**

This option provides access to users through email-based login credentials. Users can create accounts using their email address and password to access your Knowledge Hub.

**Additional options:** You can also enable open registration to allow anyone to sign up to access the Knowledge Hub

1. **Use your User’s Application Authentication**

This option integrates your Knowledge Hub with your existing application's user authentication system. Users can access the Knowledge Hub using the same credentials they already use for your main application.

Enter the URL of your application's login page where users should be redirected for authentication.

1. **Single Sign-On (SAML)**

This option enables enterprise-grade SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication for your Knowledge Hub. It allows users to access the Knowledge Hub using their organization's existing identity provider credentials without entering separate passwords.

The specific URL provided by your SAML identity provider and security certificate.
