Question - Eramba API user module

Hello,

We have recently migrated to Eramba cloud instance and we are facing some blocking point related to “New user’s account automatic creation” , which could be resolved with the API integration with our data base.

In that case, once we have new user in our group, his account will be synchronized and created automatically on Eramba cloud server.

Would it be possible to add this feature to your application? Or when it could be planned?

Kind regards,

you mean an api end point to manage users in eramba?

Yes. An API to get our new users in the group to create automatically their account on Eramba platform.
For now, we have to create manually users and their a risk of duplicated account especially if we use the CSV users import.

you tried CSV imports?

see doc: Access Management | Eramba learning portal

also is not very common to have to create that many users in eramba…just raising this in case you are planning to create more than two/three users per group.

see doc: Access Management | Eramba learning portal

The issue with the CSV import is that you need to do the upload manually.
We are looking for an automatic solution that also guarantee no duplicated data that we can update anytime “automatically”.

we prefer for the time being not doing this as there is no need to create many accounts in eramba, did you review the post i mentioned above about who needs accounts? deviating from that advice might cause issues in your implementation.

Yes, I saw and read the article. Thank you for sharing the link.

I also would like to manage users via an API.

We would like to automate vendor assessments which require inputs from multiple participants.

I agree with this post as we are in a similar situation. We are looking to automate the vendor assessment process. Many of our current third parties, when using portals to complete assessments want and/or need to ensure that their data remains confidential so they require authenticating to the portal instead of leveraging an unauthenticated public link. This means that we need to create one or more accounts for each third party that we intend to assess.

If user management via the API could be added, even as some special restricted function, it would help with making the product integrate in a more automated manner with our third party risk management and onboarding processes.

as part of the new awareness program and oa-upgrades we are introducing SCIM so this should cover this particular need.

I think I’ve suggested this in a similar thread, probably the SCIM one - if you really need this in the interim, you should be able to get an IDP that speaks LDAP to assist.

For example, Okta speaks LDAP along with everything else - you can set up an LDAP connector to Okta and pull users/groups that you can then use to auto-provision through the LDAP functionality.

You can probably replace the word Okta with Keycloak, maybe Entra Domain Services, etc.
