Connect your first IDP/HR system with Opal to sync your organization's identities and attributes from a predefined source of truth. To learn more about how Opal interacts with the end system, see Connect Identity or HR Provider.

Connect Opal to an IDP/HRIS system

Under the Configuration section, navigate to Settings, then Identity and HR Integrations. Click + IDP/HRIS Connection on the top right.

Select your IDP/HRIS provider of choice and click + Connect .

If You have An Existing Connection with the Provider:

If you have previously set up a connection with the provider separately from the IDP/HRIS integration flow (such as for purely managing entitlements) you will see a drop down selection of all existing connections associated with the provider.

If This is the First Time Connecting Opal to the Provider:

If this is the first time you are setting up a connection to the the provider, you will be directed to the connection set up page for the App.

Import attributes

Attributes from any connected provider can be imported as either:

• User Tags (custom attributes)
• Opal System Attributes (such as the user's Name, Manager, or Position)

User Tags (custom attributes) are linked to the IDP or HRIS provider they are imported from. The source provider for each user tag will be visible after import.
