Introduction
ConductorOne enhances the security of workforce identities in cloud applications and infrastructure by implementing centralized access controls and automation. Their open-source toolkit, Baton, enables the extraction, normalization, and management of workforce identity data, including user accounts, permissions, roles, groups, and resources. Baton operates using custom connectors that gather essential data, specifically designed for widely-used SaaS platforms like HubSpot, Slack, and Zoom. These connectors facilitate the extraction of permission-related data.
Process
Starting each connector involves an in-depth study of the provider's API to ensure we cover all needed resources and accurately map the connector. In our frequent update meetings, we review progress and present a working demo. The final steps include thoroughly testing the connectors, creating user-friendly open-source materials like Readme files, and publishing them in a public repository.
Result
We provide ConductorOne with bespoke connectors for a diverse range of dozens of SaaS platform applications. Each connector is designed for public release and plays a crucial role in streamlining the acquisition of data required for access management within these platforms. The collaboration resulted in 89 complex example integrations, 8 comprehensive guides, and 6 developer tools that enhance the Baton ecosystem.
