32+ The :ref:`atlasfederatedauth-custom-resource` is **not** required to
33+ map database users to an |idp|, both any existing authentication |idp| or
34+ workload and workforce |idp|. You can use the :ref:`AtlasDatabaseUser <atlasdatabaseuser-custom-resource>`
35+ custom resource to manage database users, in which you specify the
36+ authentication method used for a given database user. The
37+ :ref:`AtlasDatabaseUser <atlasdatabaseuser-custom-resource>` custom
38+ resource must be configured in conjunction with :ref:`federated authentication
39+ <atlas-federated-authentication>` to associate users and roles in the
40+ |idp| with users and groups in MongoDB.

42+ The :ref:`atlasfederatedauth-custom-resource`
43+ is optional to use any :ref:`federated authentication
44+ <atlas-federated-authentication>`, provided that you have configured it
45+ elsewhere in {+service+}.
