Foundation is the first Launchpad module. It connects Lumos to your identity provider and core systems, so the AppStore, Access Reviews, and Lifecycle Management modules have the data they need. Work through the steps in order. Each step lists the articles that support it.
Connect your identity provider and email system first. Add Slack or Teams, your ITSM, and your other integrations after that.
1

Activate and connect your IdP

Your identity provider tells Lumos who your users are and which apps they use.
2

Configure your source of truth

Your source of truth is usually your IdP or your HRIS, like Workday. User attributes such as manager, team, title, and department come from it, and approvals and access reviews depend on them.
3

Connect your email system

Lumos uses your email provider to find the apps your employees use and to contact requesters and approvers. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are supported.
4

Connect Slack or Teams

Employees can request access and approvers can respond without leaving chat.
5

Configure global settings

These defaults apply across your whole organization. Before launch, set up notifications, your ITSM, AppStore defaults, and branding.Optional: send events to your SIEM (Splunk or Datadog) or set up webhooks.
6

Connect key integrations

Not sure which apps to connect? If you are launching the AppStore first, start with apps that your IdP can’t provision through SCIM. A direct integration adds provisioning and deprovisioning for those apps.
