# SSO for API Usage Overview

SSO for API Usage allows you to configure single sign-on (SSO) to access Data Quality & Observability (self-hosted) APIs using authorization bearer tokens. This section shows you how to set up SSO for API usage in your Data Quality & Observability (self-hosted) environment.

There are multiple methods to configure OAuth or OIDC access. The most common are:

* [Externally managed JWTs (recommended)](/data-quality-self-hosted/admin-configuration/admin-console/user-management/sso-for-api-usage/configuring-an-externally-managed-jwt.md#externally-managed-jwt)
* [Data Quality & Observability (self-hosted) as a proxy to the IdP](/data-quality-self-hosted/admin-configuration/admin-console/user-management/sso-for-api-usage/using-collibra-dq-as-a-proxy-to-the-idp.md#dq-as-a-proxy-to-the-idp)
