Connect your most sensitive internal apps to your identity program in hours, not months

The reality

At any reasonably-sized engineering org, the most sensitive access might be the internal admin dashboard that can modify any customer's account, the customer support tool with full read access to the production database, the ML feature store with PII-grade training data, the billing service with direct write access to payment records.

Identity vendors with hundreds of SaaS connectors don't cover these apps. The connector catalog stops at SaaS. The result is a governance gap that audit teams consistently find: internal admin tools with broad access, no access reviews, and no visibility into who holds what role.

Oleria's native integration closes the gap without waiting for a vendor to build a connector. The internal app registers its identity model with Oleria - users, roles, access grants - and those identities flow into the same governance surface as every SaaS and cloud app. The engineering team wires it up; the governance program extends to cover it.

What you get with Oleria

Oleria's native integration gives your engineering team everything needed to connect any internal application's identity model to the same governance graph, access review workflows, and audit trails as your SaaS stack.

AT A GLANCE

Custom permission models
Bespoke per-feature, per-record, or per-tenant permission schemas supported via flexible schema definition - the model adapts to your app
Unified access reviews
Internal app access surfaces in cross-app access reviews alongside SaaS and cloud apps - the internal admin dashboard in the same review queue as Salesforce
Bidirectional integration
Internal app emits identity events to Oleria; Oleria returns authorization context back for in-app access decisions
No connector backlog
Engineering teams connect their own apps on their own timeline - not waiting for a vendor to build a connector that may never come

What good looks like

  • Internal apps in the access graph at the same rigor as SaaS - same review tooling, same audit trails, same governance workflows.
  • The internal admin tools that hold the most sensitive access in the org are in the quarterly review cycle.
  • No more "we have internal tools that nobody reviews" as an audit finding.
  • The vendor's connector backlog stops being the customer's bottleneck - engineering teams connect their own apps on their own timeline.

What it looks like in your environment

The security team runs a quarterly access review. Salesforce, GitHub, AWS - all in scope, all in the graph. But the internal admin dashboard that can modify any customer record, the customer support tool with full database read, and the ML platform with PII training data are not in scope. They have never been reviewed. The team knows it is a gap but there is no connector and no timeline to build one.

The engineering team wires up the three internal apps using Oleria's native integration - a day of work each. Users, roles, and access grants are registered. At the next quarterly review, all three apps are in the review queue alongside the SaaS stack. A senior engineer with admin rights in the internal dashboard who moved to a different team three months ago is caught in the review. The access is revoked. The apps that held the most sensitive access in the org are finally in the governance program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much engineering work does it take to connect an internal app?

Hours to days for most apps. The integration library provides the data model and handles communication with Oleria; our AI tool helps with the identity model for a specific app.

What if our internal app is closed-source or we can't modify it?

Where the app exposes APIs for identity data, a connector pattern works similarly to SaaS connectors. Without API or source access, the integration path depends on the app's architecture - speak to the Oleria team about the specific case.

How does this work with internal apps that authenticate via our IdP?

SSO via your IdP provides the user identity at login. The native integration adds the in-app authorization context - what roles and access grants the user holds inside the app - that Oleria needs for governance. The two are complementary, not redundant.

Can internal apps be included in compliance evidence alongside SaaS apps?

Yes. Once an internal app is connected to Oleria, its access reviews, access change events, and governance actions all appear in the same audit log as SaaS and cloud apps. Compliance evidence covers the full stack, not just the vendor-supported connectors.
