To manage the user authentication and log on to the Yukon Government ("YG") online systems and services, YG has decided to use the Auth0 Authenticator to facilitate a Single Sign on (“SSO”). SSO occurs when a user logs in to one application and is then signed into other applications automatically, regardless of the platform, technology, or domain the user is using. Citizens or other users sign in in a single time and are then logged on to any of the affiliated systems/services they are authorized to utilize.
Auth0 will be used by YG staff (“Staff Users”) to manage the log-on process to multiple government systems, as well as by members of the public (“Public Users”) who require access to various YG government online services. Though the Staff and Public Users will follow largely the same process, they are discussed separately in the Privacy Impact Assessment to ensure that the differences are documented.
The Department of Highways and Public Works (“HPW”) is the department responsible for the management of Auth0 and the collection of the information, however, Auth0 may be used by any YG Department of program area for their systems. As such, this PIA will focus on the broad use of Auth0 throughout YG.
