#### Authentication & Seamless Access

Users can move between SolarWinds Observability SaaS (SWO SaaS) and Incident Response (IR) without redundant credential entries.

**A. In-App Switching**

* The Switcher: Once the trial is active (or a paid subscription of the IR account is present), a "Incident Response" button appears within the SWO SaaS UI.
* Seamless Transition: Clicking this button utilises a shared session to move the user to the IR app without requiring a new login.

* Otherwise, below is the redirection logic:
  1. User clicks "Login with SolarWinds."
  2. System redirects to the SWO SaaS login page.
  3. User enters their SWO SaaS credentials.
  4. System redirects the authenticated user back to the IR home page.

#### FAQs

1. When a user in SWO SaaS is not present in the linked IR account but tries to “Sign in with SolarWinds” on IR login page, what happens then?

Such users will see an error - Your SolarWinds account is not yet linked to a SolarWinds Incident Response workspace. Please activate or join a workspace from your SolarWinds account. Such users can simply click on "Incident Response" button from their SWO SaaS account, which will then provision their user in IR and then, they can login with available options.

2. What happens when a user or a viewer clicks “Try Incident Response”?

Such users will see an error - You don’t have permissions to activate SolarWinds Incident Response for this organization. Please contact an Account Owner or Admin.
