SMS Gateway

In GroupID, an SMS gateway account is required for:

  • SMS verification for multifactor authentication, second factor authentication, and Second Way Authentication. GroupID uses an SMS gateway account to send verification codes to the users’ mobile numbers.
  • Sending new passwords and password reset links to the users’ mobile numbers by the helpdesk users, when they reset end users’ passwords using the Helpdesk node in Admin Center.

The SMS gateway can be any third-party service provider capable of sending text messages to mobile phone numbers.

GroupID supports these SMS gateways:

  • Bulletin.net
  • Nexmo
  • RedOxygen

To use a gateway not in this list, write your own custom gateway using GroupID's Custom Gateway API.

For a gateway, you can set up as many gateway accounts as required and then link a gateway account to an identity store.
