Creating the user integration

Creating custom mappings

Before you start

The Degreed User Load uses the Get All Users API, which retrieves all users for the current organization.

Before creating the integration with Oomnitza, you need to have added your Degreed credentials to Oomnitza. We recommend that you also set the Degreed Domain as a global variable.

You can enter a limit when running the user integration. This limit parameter mitigates the issue where all records need to be retrieved within the 2-minute expiry time set by the API. We recommend setting the limit parameter to 1,000 to decrease the number of pages that need to be iterated through.

Creating the user integration

1. In Oomnitza, click Configuration > Integrations > Overview.
2. Click Block view .
3. On the Integrations page, scroll down to the Extended section for user integrations.
4. Click NEW INTEGRATION.
5. In the sidebar, search for the integration.
6. Click ADD.

Integration details overview

More information is provided about the following fields to help you complete the integration:

• User only. Add user records.
• User plus SaaS user. Add user and SaaS user records. 

The benefit of adding SaaS user records is that you can run a workflow to validate the status and activity of SaaS users and retrieve information such as the role of the SaaS user. The information that can be retrieved depends on whether SaaS user workflows are available for the integration. 

Installation types

• Cloud. Store credentials in the Oomnitza cloud.
• Local. Store credentials locally. If you want to sync Oomnitza with vendor applications that require AWS or OAUTH authentication, select cloud as the type of installation. Local installations don't support AWS and OAuth authentication. 

Integration preferences
