# Authentication JavaScript SDK

# Overview

Authentication is a Catalyst CloudScale component that allows you to add end-users to your application in a secure manner. You will be able to customize aspects of your login elements, choose from three different types of authentication types, control end-user statuses, customize email templates, whitelist domains and enable CORS and iFrame access.

The **Authentication JavaScript SDK** package enables you to perform user management operations like adding or removing end-users, prompting users to reset their passwords, getting user details, and implementing custom logic to authenticate end-users' access.

### Prerequisites

You need to install the following package to use the Authentication SDK methods.

```sh
npm install @zcatalyst/auth
```

> **Info:** Ensure that you have applied the [required authentication configuration](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/auth-config/node-consideration/) to use the SDK methods of this component.

### Import Requirement

You will need to import the following module to use the Authentication SDK methods.

```javascript
const { UserManagement } = require('@zcatalyst/auth');
```

### List of SDK Methods

The following table contains the list of SDK methods that can be used to perform operations in Authentication through code.
