Requirements

Before you begin, you must:

Be an Opal Admin
Be on version 1.1045.0, if you self-host Opal

1. Retrieve an API token in Astra

To allow Opal to access to your Astra roles and grant permission to assign and remove roles from users, you must first create an application token.

In Astra, go to Settings > Token. Give the token the Organization Administrator role and a suitable description and select Generate Token.

Save the token, as you won't be able to retrieve it later.

📘
The Organization Administrator role is necessary for Opal to assign and remove roles. A more restrictive role will restrict the types of roles that can be assigned through this token.

2. Create Astra app in Opal

In Opal, go to Inventory > +App and select the Astra card. Name your Astra app, provide a description, and enter the token you generated in step 1.

After you save the app, you can import roles from ... > Import items.
