Self-Service Configurations

We're excited to introduce the Self-Service Configurations feature in Next Identity, empowering users with enhanced control and flexibility. This feature allows users with the necessary permissions to edit specific settings directly, streamlining the management process and offering a more tailored experience. With Self-Service Configurations, you can:

Modify the Allow redirect URI list to manage approved URLs for secure navigation and authorization redirects.
Edit the App link setting, particularly useful in invite-only registration scenarios, to specify the redirect destination post-invitation acceptance.
Enjoy greater autonomy in configuring your environment, reducing dependency on external support.
Enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of managing your application settings.
