# About this documentation
This documentation is intended to give an overview of how the `matrix-authentication-service` works, both from an admin perspective and from a developer perspective.
This documentation is intended to give an overview of how the `matrix-authentication-service` (MAS) works, both from an admin perspective and from a developer perspective.
MAS is an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Provider server for Matrix.
It has been created to support the migration of Matrix to an OpenID Connect (OIDC) based authentication layer as per [MSC3861](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3861).
The documentation itself is built using [mdBook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/).
A hosted version is available at <https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/>.
