You will be able to connect Drata to Lumos to sync users and their roles for visibility and Access Reviews.Capabilities
Required plan and roles
- Token scopes: grant the blanket All Read scope, or the granular scopes:
- Personnel: List Personnel lists all personnel records
- Personnel: Get Personnel covers per-person reads, required in addition to List Personnel
- Users: List Users lists user accounts
- Users: Get User covers per-user reads, required in addition to List Users
- Company Settings: Get Company Settings reads company information (credential validation)
- Permission scoping: this is a read-only integration. Lumos syncs users and role information but does not provision or deprovision anything in Drata.
Read-only access vs provisioning
Is read-only possible? Yes, and it’s the only mode this integration supports. Lumos syncs users and role information but doesn’t provision or deprovision anything in Drata. What read-only requires. An API key with either the blanket All Read scope or the granular Personnel: List Personnel, Personnel: Get Personnel, Users: List Users, Users: Get User, and Company Settings: Get Company Settings scopes. Follow the steps below to create the key and connect. Watch out for. The Users: Get User and Personnel: Get Personnel scopes are often missed because the List scopes alone don’t cover the per-record reads the connector performs. Leaving out either scope causes syncs to partially fail on individual users. Drata API keys also expire, so a sync that suddenly stops working may need a fresh key from Settings → API Keys.Instructions
Phase 1: Create an API key in Drata- Log in to app.drata.com.
- Go to your profile (bottom left) → Settings → API Keys.
- Click Create API Key and fill out the details (name, expiration).
- Select the scopes listed in Required plan and roles above.
- Click Save and copy the token.
- Find the Drata card in your Lumos integrations (reconnect an existing card or add a new one).
- Paste the token into the Rest API Token field.
- Set Region to match your Drata instance:
https://public-api.drata.comis the NA region,https://public-api.eu.drata.comis the EU region. - Click Connect.

Troubleshooting
Connection fails with a valid token. Check that the Region setting matches where your Drata instance lives: NA tokens only work againstpublic-api.drata.com, EU tokens only against public-api.eu.drata.com.
Sync partially fails on individual users. Confirm the API key includes the Users: Get User and Personnel: Get Personnel scopes. The connector performs per-record reads that the List scopes alone do not cover.
Sync stops working after a period. Drata API keys are created with an expiration date. Create a new API key in Settings → API Keys and reconnect.
Integration listed as read/write elsewhere. The Lumos integration listing is correct: Drata is read-only in Lumos. External marketing material implying read/write is inaccurate.
