# Snipe-IT Integration Setup

### Getting Started

Use this guide to connect Snipe-IT to your BalkanID tenant. You will need a personal API key from your Snipe-IT instance and access to the Integrations section in BalkanID.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Snipe-IT user who generates the API key must have **Superuser** permissions. Snipe-IT restricts its groups endpoint to superusers, so a key created by any other user will sync your users but return no groups and no group memberships.
{% endhint %}

#### Requirements:

Before you begin, collect the following values from Snipe-IT:

* **Instance URL**
* **API key**

### Configure Snipe-IT within your BalkanID tenant

1. Sign in to your Snipe-IT instance as a user with **Superuser** permissions.
2. Your **Instance URL** is the address of your Snipe-IT instance, for example `https://company.snipeitapp.com`. Enter the base address only, without a path.
3. Open the user menu in the top-right corner and select **Manage API keys** to open the **Personal API Keys** page.
4. Select **Create**, enter a **Name** for the token, and create it.
5. Copy the token immediately and store it somewhere safe. Snipe-IT displays it only once. This value is your **API key**.
6. In BalkanID, go to **Integrations** and select **Add integration**.

7. Search for Snipe-IT, select it, then select **Next**.

8. Set the **Primary application owner**, and a **Description** and **Secondary application owner(s)** if you need them.
9. Under **Select Extraction Type**, keep **Direct Configuration** selected and enter the **Instance URL** and **API key** you collected above, then select **Next**.

10. Fill **Optional Configuration**, if required.

11. Once you have filled in the information, click **Save**. Your integration is now configured and you will see the status of the integration displayed alongside other integrations on the Integrations page. When data is available, the integration Status column will read **Connected** and the integration Message will read **Data available**.

### Integration Scopes

Snipe-IT does not use scoped tokens. An API key inherits the permissions of the user who created it, so the access below is granted by that user's **Superuser** permissions rather than selected during setup.

| Read Only Scopes                                                                                                                         | Lifecycle Management Scopes |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Users (Read)** — reads the user directory, including each user's group memberships.                                                    | N/A                         |
| **Groups (Read)** — reads the groups defined in your instance and the permissions each one grants. Restricted to superusers by Snipe-IT. | N/A                         |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.balkan.id/getting-started/setting-up-your-tenant/application-integrations/direct-application-integrations/snipe-it-integration-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
