Identity security & governance for Airtable
Your identity provider controls who signs in to Airtable, not who sits inside each base. Oleria brings governance down to the base level, surfacing collaborator sprawl, share links, and dormant tokens so you can pass audits without spreadsheet reviews.

Key Takeaways
- Airtable identity providers control sign-in but not who sits inside each base, meaning collaborators added directly to workspaces and bases retain access to sensitive tables indefinitely without central oversight.
- Shared base and view links created by individual users bypass all group controls, creating persistent public or external access that Airtable's native admin tools cannot inventory or revoke in bulk.
- Oleria brings governance down to the base level, mapping every collaborator, share link, and API key into a continuous identity security graph that shows who can access each table and whether that access reflects a current business need.
- Automated access certification through Oleria replaces manual Airtable audits, enabling evidence-based removal of dormant collaborators and expired links before they appear in a compliance finding.

Automate workspace privilege reviews, secure shared base links, and enforce continuous least privilege
Oleria's Airtable integration gives security teams one view of who can access Airtable workspaces and bases, how they got that access, and whether they still use it. It covers Airtable Enterprise organizations.
Your identity provider (IdP) controls who signs in to Airtable, but not who sits inside each base or which links are shared outside. Oleria brings Airtable identity governance down to the base level, so you can pass audits without spreadsheet reviews.
Why is Airtable access so hard to govern?
- Collaborators pile up. People added directly to bases or workspaces keep access to sensitive tables without central oversight.
- Share links leak data. Base and view links created by users open unmonitored external paths to confidential tables.
- Tokens skip sign-in checks. Personal access tokens (PATs), service accounts and OAuth integrations often have long or no expiration dates and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Admin roles run wide. Enterprise Admins and Workspace Owners hold broad control over settings, single sign-on (SSO) and user management.

How security teams use Oleria with Airtable
- Pass SOC 2 and ISO 27001 access reviews. Replace manual workspace CSV exports with audit-ready reports that map every user to their exact base access.
- Close risky share links. Find and revoke external base and view links that expose sensitive operational tables.
- Cut token risk. Discover over-privileged, stale or unexpiring PATs across all enterprise users.
- Clean up dormant collaborators. Flag inactive accounts, stale external collaborators and unused base permissions using historical audit logs.
How does Oleria connect to Airtable?
Oleria connects with an Airtable service account or personal access token set up with read-only administrative scopes, such as enterpriseAccount:read and user:read. It does not need full Enterprise Admin control. Oleria then keeps your Airtable access picture current continuously.
Airtable identity governance FAQs
What is Airtable identity governance?
Airtable identity governance is the continuous discovery, review and management of who can access Airtable workspaces and bases. It covers workspace roles, base collaborators, public share links and personal access tokens. Oleria automates Airtable identity governance so security teams can enforce least privilege and stay ready for compliance audits.
How do you find over-privileged users in Airtable?
Oleria finds over-privileged Airtable users by comparing workspace roles and base-level collaborator grants with real-time Airtable audit logs. Users and API tokens holding permissions they do not actively use are flagged automatically. Security teams can then revoke Airtable access that has gone unused for 30, 60 or 90 days.
Does Oleria need Enterprise Admin rights in Airtable?
No. Oleria does not need full Enterprise Admin control to integrate with Airtable. Oleria connects using an Airtable service account or personal access token with read-only administrative scopes, such as enterpriseAccount:read and user:read. Those scopes let Oleria discover Airtable access continuously.
How do you find public share links in Airtable?
Oleria finds public and external Airtable share links by mapping base and view links alongside workspace memberships and collaborator grants. Security teams can see which links expose sensitive operational tables to people outside the company. Oleria then helps teams revoke the Airtable share links that should no longer exist.
How do you run user access reviews in Airtable?
Oleria runs Airtable user access reviews from audit-ready entitlement reports that map every user to their exact base access. Each report combines workspace roles, base grants and share links with real usage from audit logs. Reviewers no longer need manual Airtable workspace CSV exports for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reviews.
