Explanation:
An Identity Provider (IdP) is responsible for authentication and authorization, particularly by managing user identities and their roles across various systems and services. In a cloud environment, the IdP facilitates the management of user, group, and role mappings that determine which users have access to which resources, including deployments across different cloud providers. The IdP acts as the central authority for managing identities and ensuring that users are granted appropriate access based on their roles and credentials.
