VerifiedAccepting 3rd Party Identity in Salesforce

Universal Containers (UC) is creating a custom Innovation platform in its Salesforce instance. The Innovation platform will be developed entirely in Apex and Visualforce and will use custom objects to store data. UC wants every user to access the system without logging in with Salesforce credentials. UC will use a third-party IdP with SAML SSO.

What Salesforce license type is recommended for all UC employees?

Explanation

Salesforce Platform licenses are designed for internal users who need to use custom Salesforce apps and custom objects but do not require full Salesforce CRM functionality. SAML single sign-on can authenticate those users through a third-party identity provider; it does not replace the license needed to access the Salesforce application. Identity Only licenses are intended for employees who access only identity services, and External Identity licenses target external users.
