Set up integrations

Integrations connect Oblique with external systems in your organization to synchronize data and manage access. Oblique can both pull information from an integration, about users, user attributes, and resources, and push access decisions back to integrations.

Add an integration

Add a new integration to Oblique to start syncing users, user attributes, and resources from an external source.

By default, when you add an integration, Oblique starts syncing all resources from the integration in “Pull” mode. This keeps the integration as the source of truth for the resources.

You must be an Admin to add an integration.

To add an integration, navigate to the Integrations page:

1. Select Add integration.
2. Select the integration you wish to add.
3. Complete the setup steps for the integration, including providing Oblique with the necessary credentials to access the integration.
4. Select Create integration.

Oblique will automatically start syncing all users and user attributes from the integration, and syncing resources from the integration in “Pull” mode.

Edit an integration

You can edit whether an integration enables the creation of resources in an external system.

You must be an Admin to edit an integration.

Allow resource creation

From the integration’s detail page:

1. Under Destination, for Create resources for new teams, flip the switch.

When you create team groups, Oblique will automatically create a corresponding resource in the integration.

Remove an integration

Removing an integration will immediately stop syncing it.

In the integration, all resources will remain exactly as they were when you disconnected Oblique. A resource in push mode would stay in the last state it was in when you disconnected Oblique.

In Oblique, all resources from that integration are soft deleted, so that any references to those resources in request history and audit logs are still available.

Before removing an integration, you should stop syncing all its resources. Oblique will stop pushing effective access to those resources, so that you can decouple the integration from Oblique and let the integration become the source of truth again.

Pause syncing Stop syncing a resource from an integration

You must be an Admin to remove an integration.

To remove an integration, from the integration’s detail page:

1. Navigate to the Settings tab.
2. At the very bottom of the page, select Delete integration.
3. In the confirmation dialog, select Confirm.

This will immediately stop all syncing and remove all resources from the integration.
