Limitations with Helix authentication

Helix TeamHub is integrated with Helix Core Server. If your TeamHub instance is configured to use Helix authentication, you can manage repositories and kick off reviews using the TeamHub user interface.

Helix authentication implies that part of the configuration and management happens in Helix Core Server. As a result, some elements in the TeamHub UI have been removed or disabled and others have been added, as detailed in the following table.
