Push access changes

Resources in integrations can operate in different management modes, depending on whether you want Oblique to take control of access management or not.

Resources start as “Pull” by default. You can change individual resources to “Push” mode when you want Oblique to take control of their access management. If you need to revert Oblique’s management of a resource, you can stop syncing it with Oblique by moving it to “Paused.”

You configure management mode per resource, giving you flexibility in how you adopt Oblique across your organization.

Start syncing a resource

Start syncing a new resource

When you first connect an integration, resources default to “Pull” mode. This enables you to understand existing access patterns before deciding whether to let Oblique manage them.

Any new resources that you create in an integration and sync to Oblique will also default to “Pull” mode.

Start syncing an existing resource

1. Navigate to the resource detail page
2. Under Management > Mode, select More to edit the sync mode.
3. Select “Pull”.
4. Select Save.

Start managing a resource

To transition from “Pull” to “Push” mode:

1. Navigate to the resource detail page
2. Under Management > Mode, select More to edit the sync mode.

Stop syncing a resource

Caution

When you move from “Push” to “Paused”, you stop syncing changes to that resource. Oblique’s previous changes to that resource will remain in place, but no future updates will be applied. This includes important changes like entitlement expiration. Additionally, since Oblique flattens group structures for integration purposes, you’ll lose visibility into group membership details once syncing stops.

To move a resource to “Paused” mode:

1. Navigate to the resource detail page
2. Under Management > Mode, select More to edit the sync mode.
3. Change the sync mode to “Paused”.
4. Select Save.

This stops all automatic synchronization but preserves the connection for future use.
