Updated fern/products/docs/pages/authentication/overview.mdx with four changes: (1) changed the page title frontmatter to "Authentication overview" and updated description to name supported providers and auth methods for better search discoverability; (2) added an introductory paragraph before the CardGroup that names all supported SSO providers and links to RBAC; (3) updated the SSO bullet in "Which option should I use?" to list all supported providers inline and removed the old "(Okta, Google Workspace, etc.)" parenthetical; (4) added a "## Common questions" section at the bottom with four <Accordion> items covering Entra ID SSO support, third-party service user SSO, API key injection method support, and plan availability.

Yes. Fern's SSO works with any SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider, including Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). [Contact Fern](https://buildwithfern.com/book-demo) to set it up.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Can I integrate SSO with third-party service users (not just internal employees)?">
Yes. SSO is not limited to internal teams. You can gate docs for any audience — partners, customers, or external developers — as long as they authenticate through your identity provider. Combine SSO with [RBAC](/learn/docs/authentication/features/rbac) to show different content to different user groups.

Use 'isn't' instead of 'is not'.

<Accordion title="Which authentication method supports API key injection?">
JWT and OAuth both support [API key injection](/learn/docs/authentication/features/api-key-injection), which pre-fills a user's API key in the API Explorer after they log in. SSO and password protection do not support API key injection.
