C1 provides identity governance for Drata. Integrate your Drata workspace with C1 for unified visibility and governance over who is on your workforce roster and whether they are still active.

Capabilities

The connector syncs the people in your Drata workspace as user identities. Each user carries their name, their login email, and whether they are still with the organization — personnel Drata marks as a former employee or former contractor, or whose separation date has already passed, sync as disabled. Someone with a future separation date, such as a scheduled offboard, stays enabled until that date arrives. Their employment status, start and separation dates, and linked Drata user ID are included as attributes on the identity. Roster entries that are not people sync as service accounts rather than human identities: those Drata marks with the SERVICE_ACCOUNT employment status, and those it flags as non-human, which also carry Drata’s stated reason as an attribute. You can also sync personnel custom fields as attributes. Drata custom fields are defined per workspace, so you choose which ones to bring across by naming them on the connector; anything you do not name is ignored. Each one lands on the identity as custom_<field name> — a field named Cost Center becomes custom_cost_center.
Drata’s personnel API does not return a built-in job title or department. If you track those as personnel custom fields in Drata, name them in Personnel Custom Fields and they will sync as attributes.
Custom fields are matched by name. If a field is renamed in Drata, or the name is entered here with a typo, that attribute stops syncing until the connector’s configuration is updated to match — and a renamed field also changes the attribute key it lands on.
This connector is identities-only: it lists people and surfaces their employment metadata as attributes on their identity, but it does not sync entitlements or grants and does not change anyone’s access.

Gather Drata credentials

You need a Drata API key. The Drata public API is available on the Advanced plan and above. Treat the API key as a secret.
1
Sign in to Drata as an administrator.
2
Open Settings, then API Keys.
3
Create a new API key and copy its value. You will enter it when configuring the connector.

Configure the Drata connector

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.
1
In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.
2
Search for Drata and click Add.
3
Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.
4
Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.
5
Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.
6
Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.
7
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
8
Enter the Drata credentials:
  • Drata API Key: The API key you created in Drata.
9
Optionally, set Personnel Custom Fields to the Drata personnel custom fields you want synced as identity attributes, separated by commas — for example Title, Cost Center. Names are matched case-insensitively against the custom fields defined in Drata under Settings > Personnel. Leave it blank to sync no custom fields.
10
Click Save.
11
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
Done. Your Drata connector is now pulling access data into C1.
