SaaS Management: GitLab Connector

JumpCloud® SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT and SaaS app use within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to the valuable usage and security insights.

The GitLab Connector retrieves users lists and data from the GitLab API, enabling seamless integration with third-party apps authenticated via GitLab credentials. It captures new users and login events via periodic polling for real-time updates. This connector also ensures data integrity and security because it is configured via OAuth with read-only permissions.

Prerequisites

• To configure the connector, you must have a GitLab account.

Considerations

• Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour. 
• GitLab doesn’t reveal emails for users through APIs and can’t be matched to the username. We collect the GitLab username as a unique identifier for GitLab users.
