About Terms of Use Documents

About terms of use documents.

The terms of use feature lets you to set the terms and conditions to access the Console or a target application, based on the user's consent. This feature lets the identity domain administrator set relevant disclaimers for legal or compliance requirements and enforce the terms by refusing the service unless consent is received.

In an identity domain, you can optionally grant or deny access to applications based on the consent provided by the user. When the user sign in for the first time, the disclaimers for legal or compliance requirements are displayed. The user has the option of either consenting or denying consent. If the user doesn't provide consent by accepting the terms of use, they are not allowed to access the application.

When you create a terms of use, you add the customized content and language that you want to display and select the applications that use the terms. You can also set an expiration date for the consent to require users to provide consent again after a set period of time.

When you add a terms of service to an identity domain, it's always added in the deactivated state.
