Part of Lumos Launchpad: Foundation, step 1.

​
Background

This article shows you how to activate your Lumos account by connecting your email provider, identity provider, Slack, and other integrations. After setup, you can use Lumos to:
  • Architect clean access that keeps up: Use Albus to mine roles and draft RBAC and ABAC policies from key attributes and real usage, so least privilege stays current as your organization changes.
  • Deliver access reviews faster: Review human and non-human identity (NHI) access in the same campaign, with explainable decisions, automatic remediation, and audit-ready evidence.
  • Automate access to unlock productivity: Use Joiner-Mover-Leaver workflows, the Lumos AppStore, and Just-in-Time (JIT) access so employees get what they need in minutes and IT handles fewer tickets.

​
Step 1: Connect your email provider

Lumos will build your app catalog by:
  • Finding all apps your employees logged in to through your email provider.
  • Running an AI algorithm on your email subject lines to find apps your employees signed up for using a username and password.
Google Workspace Check that you have access to Google Workspace domain-wide delegation before starting.
  1. Go to app.lumosidentity.com and log in with Google using an account with access to Google domain-wide delegation.
  2. After logging in with Google, you’ll land on an onboarding page with steps to connect Google Workspace. Complete these steps and click Start Account Discovery to finish the setup.
Microsoft Check that your Office365 user has access to the Microsoft admin panel before starting.
  1. Go to app.lumosidentity.com and log in with Microsoft using your Admin account.
  2. After logging in, you’ll be redirected to accept the OAuth scopes requested by Lumos for Office365. Accept these scopes to finish the setup.

​
Step 2: Connect your identity provider

Lumos can discover users and application activity related to apps managed in your IdP automatically. Go to the Connect More Integrations tab in Lumos and click on the tile linked to your IdP to connect the integration. More details on the most common IdPs can be found here.

​
Step 3: Connect Slack

Connect Slack and then enable Slack notifications to get notified of key access-related events. See Slack and Notification Settings

​
Step 4: Connect more integrations

To get the most value from Lumos, connect Lumos to more of your company-managed apps. Go to the Connect More Integrations tab in Lumos to connect more applications. The more apps you connect, the more access Lumos can govern and automate.
