+How to manage maintainers for your project
+==========================================
+
+|org_brand| allows you to manage maintainers for your projects.
+Maintainers have admin access to the project, so be careful when adding them.
+
+When you add a maintainer to your project,
+they will be invited to join the project as a maintainer.
+They will receive an email notification with a link to accept the invitation,
+and won't have access to the project until they accept the invitation.
+
+Adding a maintainer
+-------------------
+
+Adding a maintainer gives them admin access to your project.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+* Navigate to the :guilabel:`Settings` tab of your project.
+* Click on the :guilabel:`Setup > Maintainers` tab.
+* Click the :guilabel:`Add Maintainer` button.
+* Fill out the form with the new maintainer's username or email address.
+* Click :guilabel:`Invite`.
+
+Removing a maintainer
+---------------------
+
+Removing a maintainer revokes their admin access to your project.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+* Navigate to the :guilabel:`Settings` tab of your project.
+* Click on the :guilabel:`Setup > Maintainers` tab.
+* Find the maintainer you want to remove in the list.
+* Click the :guilabel:`Remove` button next to their name.
+* Confirm the removal in the dialog that appears.

+Account authentication methods
+==============================
+
+Read the Docs supports several authentication methods for creating an account and logging in.
+The method you choose depends on your preferences and the security requirements of your organization.
+
+These authentication methods are not mutually exclusive,
+you can use multiple methods to access your account.
+
+Email and password
+------------------
+
+You can create an account on Read the Docs using your email address and a password.
+This method works well for individual users and small teams,
+but it limits the functionality available to you.
+
+VCS provider authentication
+---------------------------
+
+You can also create an account on Read the Docs using a VCS authentication provider: GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
+This method is more secure and convenient than using an email and password,
+and provides access to additional features like automatic repository syncing.
+
+VCS provider authentication is required for the following features:
+
+* :doc:`/pull-requests`
+* Automatic repository syncing for easy project import
+* Automatic webhook creation on project import
+

+Google authentication
+---------------------

+
+Read the Docs supports Google authentication for organizations.
+Google authentication works well for users already using Google services,
+and easily integrates into your existing workflow.
+
+Google provides authentication, but not authorization.
+This means that you can login to Read the Docs with this method,
+but we aren't able to determine which projects you have access to automatically.

+SAML authentication
+-------------------

+
+Read the Docs supports SAML authentication for organizations.
+SAML authentication is a secure way to authenticate users and manage access to your organization's projects.
+This is only available on Enterprise plans,
+and requires custom integration to be enabled.
+
+SAML provides authentication, but not authorization.

+
+Two factor authentication
+-------------------------
+
+Read the Docs supports Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for added security on all authentication methods.
+If you have 2FA enabled on your account, you will be prompted to enter a code
+when logging in.
+
+.. seealso::
