You’ll be able to connect TriNet to Lumos to sync users, and set TriNet as a source of user data.

Capabilities

Required plan and roles

  • TriNet role: you must have Admin permissions in your company’s TriNet instance, or have someone share their access with you.
  • Provider: Lumos connects to TriNet through Merge.dev. See the Merge.dev documentation for provider requirements.

Read-only access vs provisioning

Is read-only possible? Yes, and it’s the only mode. The connector only syncs user records through Merge.dev and has no provisioning capability, so every connection is inherently read-only. What read-only requires. Admin permissions in your company’s TriNet instance, or an administrator sharing their access with you, then following the steps below to authorize through Merge.dev. Watch out for. There’s no provisioning variant of this connector to switch to. If you need TriNet to write access changes back, that isn’t supported today.

  1. Click the TriNet card in your Lumos integrations (reconnect an existing card or add a new one).
  2. Click Connect TriNet.

Phase 2: Set as a source of user data (optional)
