# Configure JWT authorization

Your Make White Label instance can use JWT authorization to manage users, organizations, or teams. A benefit of JWT authorization is that it allows embedding with third-party systems. When you set up JWT authorization, your instance fully trusts the information received in the JWT. As a result, your system manages access. A user in your IdP who has access to your instance automatically receives an Admin role in their organization and team. All users accessing Make receive the Admin role for the organizations and teams you assign them to.

Configuring JWT authorization lets your instance extract information from the JWT payload to perform the following:

* **Create** a new user, organization, or team if that user, organization, or team does not currently exist in your instance.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Users added via JWT receive the Admin role for the organization or team they are added to. You need to manage permissions on your system external to Make.
{% endhint %}

* **Update** a user, organization, or team with data from the payload. Any payload data that does not match your instance's data initiates automatic updates.
* **Links** users, organizations, or teams currently not associated together. For example, add a user to an organization, or a team to an organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.make.com/white-label-documentation/configure-jwt-authorization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
