Sailpoint integration

[elclark]

Hello - is it possible to integrate SailPoint with Alteryx Server to grant the appropriate access and added to collections? Essentially what we're trying to do is when someone submits a ticket to request access, once its approved, there can be some automation so that someone doesn't have to manually go in and assign the user the appropriate role and add them to the needed collections.

dogsounds Yes, it is definitely possible to integrate SailPoint with Alteryx Server to automate access provisioning and management of collections.

@elclark there are two questions here:

1) is it possible -> yes.

2) is it easy -> no.

this isn't a 'press a button' or 'drag a tool' situation. It requires significant investment in builds and knowledge of underlying systems. Can your team do that? no idea. but it is 'possible.'

@apathetichell @juli70ken would either of you be able tor provide some guidance or documentation on how to implement/integrate them

So I'd look at hosting a serverless function in Lambda or Cloud Run Functions. I'd make an outbound request to the function when a ticket is approved. Function would handle the other parts via Server API.

That's your guidance. But this is really a multi-month consultant project which involves getting to know your process and systems, figuring out how to provision access, understanding your cloud deploys, etc.

I'm also a JIRA person --- so on JIRA --- i'd use automations and have an outbound call to an AWS SNS and have that trigger my Lambda. My Lambda would then read in the ticket/parse what's needed --- and call the Server API.
