What is Email Domain Authentication?
Email Domain Authentication is a security feature that controls how new users can join your organization and use Mistral AI services (le Chat, la Plateforme, APIs, etc.).
Benefits:
Enhances security by ensuring only users with verified email addresses from your specific domain can join automatically.
Relatively simple to set up once your domain ownership is verified.
Available for every la Plateforme Scale plans or from le Chat Team plans.
Consideration:
Even with this enabled, users joining via their domain email will still need to create and manage a separate set of account credentials (email/password) for the Mistral AI platform.
💡 If your organization has subscribed to an Enterprise plan, you may consider activate Single Sign-On instead.
Prerequisites
⚠️ Before you can enable this feature, you must successfully verify ownership of your domain within the platform.
