Opal + LDAP

‍

Opal + LDAP Use cases

Protect against breaches with least privilege

• Grant just-in-time access to LDAP groups that are auto-expiring and fully audited using Slack
• Ensure that privileged roles have the appropriate identity governance and approval configurations, such as multi-stage approvals, max duration, custom fields, and more

Accelerate employee access on paved roads

• Enable resource owners with the most context to approve access requests and provision access automatically via Slack
• Accelerate employee onboarding by enabling managers to request on behalf of their reports or enabling self-service discovery of resource bundles

Simplify compliance without manual overhead

• Automate user access reviews so compliance teams can snapshot user listings, assign reviewers to self-service reviews, propagate access changes, and generate an auditor-friendly access report
• Review access of employees who have recently transferred roles or departments

LDAP Overview

Opal natively integrates with LDAP and inherits its structure and membership. This allows users to invite members to Opal easily and grant granular permissions based on existing groups, using your identity provider as the source of truth. With Opal, it's possible to grant role-based access to relevant tools while leveraging a request workflow to grant privileged access.
