Zoho Directoryby Wanas Apps, a Zoho Premium Partner

Zoho Directory is a workforce identity and access management platform that provides Single Sign-On for all Zoho and third-party applications, Multi-Factor Authentication via Zoho OneAuth, Device Management, and role-based Security Policies from one central admin console.

The Challenge

IT teams managing dozens of SaaS applications manually provision and deprovision user access in each system separately — a process that leaves former employees with active accounts after offboarding and gives no unified view of who has access to what. Without SSO and MFA enforced centrally, password fatigue drives employees to reuse weak credentials across systems, dramatically increasing the attack surface.

Why You Need Zoho Directory

Zoho Directory delivers Single Sign-On across 350+ pre-built application integrations — both Zoho apps and third-party tools — so employees authenticate once and access everything securely. Multi-Factor Authentication via Zoho OneAuth enforces passwordless or step-up login, Device Management ensures only trusted endpoints can connect, and Role-Based and Policy-Based Authentication controls restrict access to sensitive apps based on user role, device compliance, or location.

Core Features

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) for 350+ Zoho & Third-Party App Integrations
  • Multi-Factor Authentication via Zoho OneAuth (Passwordless & Push)
  • Device Management with Trusted Endpoint Policies
  • Role-Based & Policy-Based Access Control with Identity Reports

Frequently Asked Questions about Zoho Directory in UAE & MENA

Zoho Directory is a cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform that centralises user authentication, SSO, and application access control. UAE businesses use it to enforce consistent security policies across all Zoho and third-party apps. It reduces password fatigue and minimises unauthorised access risks across distributed teams.

Zoho Directory is included at no additional cost within Zoho One and other Zoho suite bundles. As a certified Zoho Premium Partner, Wanas Apps provides transparent AED pricing and helps businesses select the right licensing model for their user count and compliance needs.

A standard Zoho Directory deployment — covering SSO configuration, directory sync, and policy setup — typically takes three to seven business days with Wanas Apps. Larger integrations involving Active Directory or custom app provisioning may extend the timeline slightly.

Zoho Directory supports role-based access control and audit logging that align with CITC and NCA cybersecurity frameworks in Saudi Arabia, as well as Egypt's data protection guidelines. Wanas Apps configures policies to meet local regulatory and internal governance standards.
