AI & SaaS Management: Port Connector

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

The Port Connector retrieves the user list from the Port API. Using periodic polling for regular updates, it captures new users and new application associates to keep data accurate and up-to-date.

Port User: Provides an up-to-date list of Port users.

Prerequisites:

  • You must have a Port account with API access.

Considerations:

Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.

Configuring Port​

  1. Log in to your Port account.
  2. In the top-right menu, go to Builder > Credentials.
  3. Copy and save the Client ID and Client Secret.
Important

For security reasons, you'll only see the Client ID and Client Secret once. Save it in a secure location before closing the window.

Configuring JumpCloud​

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
Important

If your data is stored outside of the US, check which login URL you should be using depending on your region. If your organization uses LDAP, RADIUS, or requires firewall allow list configuration, the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) will also be region specific. See JumpCloud Data Centers for the URLs, FQDNs, and IP addresses.

  1. Go to Access > AI & SaaS Management > Settings.

  2. Under AI & SaaS Management Settings, click the Connectors tab, then click + Add Connector.

    JumpCloud AI & SaaS Management Settings Connectors tab, showing the list of active SaaS connectors, with Atlassian displayed in a CONNECTED status.

  3. Click the Port connector.

  4. Enter the following information:

    • The Connector name.
    • The Client ID and Client Secret copied from Port.
    • Enter your Port deployment region.

  5. Click Connect and then Save Connector. You will now see Port in your list of Connectors.

note

If permissions are accidentally removed, or if the admin who configured left your organization, the connector will stop working and you will be prompted to Reconnect.

Required Permissions​

  • This connector requires an API access token that grants read-only access to all users and teams in your organization.

Uninstall/Remove​

  • On the Connector’s detail page, click on Delete Connector and follow the prompts.

  • To revoke the permissions granted to JumpCloud, delete the Client ID and Client Secret in Port.
