Reader Identity

Every organization in NewsTeam comes with its own built-in reader identity and SSO service. This allows you to manage all of your readers (customers or users) in one secure place, with visibility across every connected product.


NewsTeam provides SSO in a box. A reader who registers once with your organization can use the same account to sign in to any site, app, or digital product connected to that organization.

This enables you to:

  • Maintain a single profile for each reader across your network.
  • Track subscriptions, purchases, and engagement at the organization level.
  • Offer seamless access across multiple products without duplicate logins.

NewsTeam integrates with trusted authentication providers out of the box:

  • WorkOS — enterprise-grade authentication and identity infrastructure.
  • Axate — a wallet-based micropayment and paywall system for publishers.

At your request, we can also provision custom adapters to support any other authentication platform you need.

👉 For custom authentication requirements, contact us at hello@newsteam.io.


Each organization has a single, unified reader base, which acts as the source of truth for reader identity:

  • Consistent access and entitlements across all sites.
  • Shared insights into activity, subscriptions, and purchases.
  • Full alignment with your monetization policies.

  1. A reader registers on your flagship news site.
  2. Later, they download your podcast app or access your e-paper.
  3. Because all products are connected through your organization’s SSO, they log in with the same account.
  4. Their subscription and purchase history carries across automatically.

In summary: NewsTeam gives every organization a powerful reader identity layer with built-in SSO. You control access across products, track engagement and purchases centrally, and deliver readers a seamless, unified experience.
