ConductorOne provides identity governance and just-in-time provisioning for Formal. Integrate your Formal instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.
Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Formal. Gather these credentials before you move on.
A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and the ability to generate API keys in Formal must perform this task.
