What fallback method should a System Admin enable for access during an IdP outage?

Enabling the System Admin fallback method is essential for maintaining access during an Identity Provider (IdP) outage. This method allows the System Administrator to retain control over user access and manage identity-related functionalities even when the IdP is unavailable. In practical scenarios, if the primary authentication source is compromised or experiences downtime, the admin fallback ensures that critical operations can still be performed, and users can access necessary resources.

This method provides a layer of continuity for administrative tasks and helps to uphold the organization’s operational integrity. By configuring this fallback option, system admins can mitigate disruptions to user access that may arise from external authentication failures, ensuring that they can address any configuration or user needs that arise, regardless of the state of the IdP.
