# Benefits

* You have the flexibility of implementing Catalyst Authentication using different methods: [Native Catalyst Authentication](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/introduction/) ([Hosted Authentication Type](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/hosted-authentication-type/introduction/) and [Embedded Authentication Type](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/native-catalyst-authentication/embedded-authentication/introduction/)) and [Third-party Authentication Type](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/third-party-authentication/introduction/).

* Each authentication type provides you with a unique way to configure and design your login element. 

* You can directly add end-users to your application and configure their user roles upon your requirements.

* You can customize additional user roles, and specific permissions can be provided to dictate access to [Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/scopes-and-permissions/) components.

* You have the option to add end-users to an organization using an existing organization, or have Catalyst create a new organization automatically when the user is added.

* You can now customize and style templates of the [Email Verification and Password Reset emails](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/email-templates/introduction/) to complement your branding requirements.

* Enable and disable [CORS and iFrame access](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/whitelisting/authorized-domains/introduction/) to your application with a few simple steps.

* Complex authentication types can be enabled and configured for your application directly from the console, and this does not require complex coding.
