Each guide includes:
- Required credentials and where to find them
- Permission setup
- Connection testing
- Synchronization settings
Viewing Imported Identities
After connecting an identity source:
Filter by Identity Source
- Navigate to Machine Identities
- Use the Identity Source filter to view machines from specific providers
- Verify expected identities are appearing
Monitor Synchronization
Check the Identity Sources page to monitor:
- Assets Synced: Total machines imported from the source
- Machine Identities Mapped: Successfully mapped identities
- Last Sync: Most recent synchronization timestamp
Organizing Imported Identities
Create machine groups to organize imported identities:
- Group by cloud provider (Azure, AWS)
- Group by application type or function
- Group by environment (production, staging, development)
