Makes sense, but isn't there more to it?

SP handles authorization, IDP does authentication. Simple!

Yes, I believe the IDP authenticates users, but I can't recall the exact details of how that process works with the SP.

I feel like I might be mixing up the roles. Is it really that straightforward? I thought there might be more to it.

I remember practicing a question about SAML where the roles of IDP and SP were emphasized. It makes sense that one authenticates and the other authorizes.

I think the SP does handle authorization, but I'm not entirely sure how the IDP fits into that.

Okay, I think I've got this. Setting AUTO_SUSPEND to '0' means the warehouse will suspend immediately, while NULL means it will never suspend. I'll double-check my answer before submitting.
