Integrate employee data

Getting started

BalkanID relies on specific HRIS data to effectively manage Identity Lifecycle and Governance activities. Essential data fields include names, emails, manager details, start and termination dates and department information. Uploading your employee data to BalkanID allows you to map accounts across your systems to employees for entitlement discovery, assigning access reviews and creating access requests. There are three ways to integrate your users to BalkanID -

• Direct Integration to your HR system

• Manual flat file (.CSV) upload

• Bulk API upload

This article will briefly cover the process for all three. They are given below:

1. Direct HRIS Integration: Merge, our trusted integration partner, seamlessly connects your HRIS systems with BalkanID to ensure real-time accuracy of user data.

2. Adding users from the UI: BalkanID provides a straightforward way to add individual user accounts directly through the user interface. This method is ideal for quickly onboarding a single user, performing tests, or when a full HRIS/IDP sync isn't immediately available for a new hire.

3. Manual .CSV Upload: You can manually upload user data to integrate it into the BalkanID tenant.

4. Bulk API Upload: With BalkanID Bulk API (Early Access), administrators can automatically upload user data from their HRIS or Identity Provider. Bulk API (Early Access) is the most flexible way to integrate a custom application, HRIS, or Identity Provider with BalkanID that works with any customer specific business process, security constraint, or integration need. Customer is in full control of application credentials, data extracted, and the schedule to update these integrations.
