Alteryx 2023.1 user creation asks for a password when authentication is SAML

[PeterPerera]

Hi 

We upgraded the DEV environment to 2023.1. When tried to create a new user in Gallery it asking to setup new password.

We are using SAML SSO so can't understand why need a password here. Anybody has idea.

thx

Hey @PeterPerera ,

From the documentation, it appears the process is working as expected. 

https://help.alteryx.com/20221/en/server/administer-alteryx-server/user-and-group-management/add-ser...

Since Galleries with SAML or built-in authentication use e-mails as a form of ID and both allow user creation, I believe it is following the same steps erroneously. I guess you can add a random password since the authentication will happen on your SAML IdP.

Best,
