Introducing The CoLab
The Developer Community CoLab is a new place where developer community members can share integrations they’ve built that use, or integrate with, SailPoint platforms. You can then collaborate with each other in real-time on these integrations, working together to solve both common and complex problems in identity. Our goal is to make it even easier for you to come together to solve your identity problems!
Read below for the full details and how to make use of the CoLab!
Who is the CoLab for?
Anyone can participate in the CoLab, regardless of if you consider yourself a developer or not. The CoLab is all about collaboration. Sometimes that may mean one person has the idea, and the other person has the capability of creating it—so you can come together in the orum to create it! It could also mean you contribute a solution to a problem you had, so others don’t face that same challenge. Whatever the case, if you’re looking to solve identity problems using SailPoint, the CoLab is for you.
Not a developer? That’s okay! We expect the vast majority of our users of integrations from the CoLab, built by others!
What are the technical details?
Here are some pertinent, technical details that you may find useful before getting started with the CoLab:
- All integrations in the CoLab will be open source, MIT licensed, and hosted in SailPoint’s Open-source GitHub organization: github.com/sailpoint-oss
- All integrations in the CoLab are community maintained, unless expressed otherwise on the topic of that solution. Otherwise, watch that integration topic to see who the active community contributors on those community-maintained integrations.
- Those participating in SailPoint’s Developer Community Ambassador Program will receive significant point values for contributing new integrations to the CoLab, as well as for maintaining those integrations.
How do I get started?
Looking for a nice link to share with your team to easily browse all of the available integrations? We’ve got you: developer.sailpoint.com/colab
Whether you’re looking to make use of integrations already built in the CoLab, or you’re looking to publish something new, we’ve got you covered. In both cases, we recommend reading the CoLab Getting Started Guide:
Using integrations in the CoLab
We always recommend checking out the CoLab for integrations before going off to build your own. Why reinvent the wheel? The CoLab can be found right here in the Developer Community Forum, in the CoLab category. Like the rest of our forum, the CoLab has subcategories and tags as well:
Each CoLab category will come with its own getting started guide on how to use integrations in that category. Don’t worry if you forget where the guide is, every CoLab integration will come with a link to that guide, and any integration-specific documentation as well.
Publishing new integrations to the CoLab
Interested in publishing something new? You can get started as a new publisher to the CoLab by heading over to the getting started guide as well, where we outline the process for publishing something new to the CoLab.
The CoLab will have high standards for publishing, and not all integrations will be deemed ready for the CoLab. For these, you can always share what you are building in our Show and Tell categories(IDN Show and Tell, IIQ Show and Tell).
