# Login Methods Overview

You can create an account and sign into your DEX environment using:

- [Entra ID](/v1/docs/azure-oauth-for-dex)
- Google
- Email address and password
- [SAML SSO](/v1/docs/saml-sso-for-dex)

## Set global allowed login methods

You can control which login methods are available for your organization if you have the **Manage login methods** permission. If a login method is not allowed, then it does not appear on your organization's login screen: To set which login methods can be used to access your environment:

## Override allowed login methods for a specific user

If you don't want to allow a specific user to sign in with one of the global allowed login methods, you can override the login methods for that user. When you override a user's login methods, you can only **remove** one of the global allowed login methods. For example, if **Sign-in with Azure** is not a global allowed login method, then you can't override a user's login methods to give them permission to **Sign-in with Azure**.

To override a user's login methods:

1. Go to **Settings > User Settings** and click on the user whose login methods you want to override.

2. Next to **Login method****s**, click **Override**. ![Override default login method button](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/override%20button(1).png)

3. Deselect the login methods you want to remove from the user.
