The ID.me Community connector is the ID.me connector plus the `community` scope, which returns the verified communities a user belongs to rather than identity alone.

## Copy the redirect URI

In the [Authdog console](https://console.authdog.com), select the project and environment, open **Authentication > Providers**, find **ID.me Community**, and click **Enable**. Copy the redirect URI shown in the form:

```url
https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/callback/<connectionId>
```

## Create the application

1. Set up the application as in the [ID.me connector](/docs/connectors/idme).
2. Request approval for the community policy your product gates on.
3. Add the redirect URI from Authdog to the application.
4. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

## Configure Authdog

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Client ID** | The client identifier from the provider |
| **Client Secret** | The client secret from the provider |

Save, then toggle the connection **active**.

## What ID.me Community returns

Authdog requests the `openid profile email community` scopes and reads the profile from `https://api.id.me/api/public/v3/userinfo`.

The response adds community affiliation to the standard claims, so your application can branch on the group a user has proven.

Approval is per policy. An application approved for one community is not automatically approved for another.

## Test it

1. Open your environment's hosted sign-in page, or link to `https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/signin/<connectionId>`.
2. Select the ID.me Community button and complete the flow.
3. Confirm the user appears under **Users** in the console with a ID.me Community identity linked.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause |
| --- | --- |
| `invalid_scope` | The community policy has not been approved for this application |
| Redirect or callback URL error | The URI registered with the provider does not match Authdog's exactly |
| Works in one environment only | Each environment has its own `connectionId`, and so its own redirect URI to register |
