Federation in identity and access management refers to a trust relationship established between different organizations allowing users to use their home organization's credentials to access resources in a partner organization. Unlike single sign-on (SSO), which deals with enabling a user to log in across multiple systems of the same organization, federation extends this trust across different organizations.
