Integrating SailPoint with Akaunting

The Akaunting connector enables SailPoint to aggregate users for a single Akaunting company and their role names for that company. This document provides the instructions required to configure a new direct connection between SailPoint and Akaunting. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to Source and Connector Definitions.

Supported Features

The Akaunting connector supports the following:

Account Management

  • Aggregate Users

Note

Roles are aggregated with users as an account entitlement on the role attribute. A separate entitlement schema is not used.

Important

Quick Compliance connectors have the following manual aggregation limits within a 24-hour period:

  • Organization Admins: Limited to 3 manual account or entitlement aggregations per day per source. This limit is cumulative across all admins in the organization.
  • Regular Users: Limited to 1 manual account or entitlement aggregation per day per source.

These limits ensure that individual compliance statuses are kept up to date while maintaining continuous compliance monitoring. If you need to run additional aggregations beyond these limits, contact SailPoint Support.

What Gets Aggregated

Each SailPoint source is tied to one Akaunting company.

Akaunting
 └── Company you enter in Connection Settings
      └── Users of that company   → accounts
           └── Role               → entitlement
In SailPoint In Akaunting
Account User
Entitlement Role (for example Manager, Accountant)
Source scope One company (Company Id)

Notes for administrators

  • If you need more than one company, create a separate source for each Company Id.
  • A person can exist in several Akaunting companies. This source only shows them if they belong to the Company Id you configured.
  • Role is the access level defined on the user in Akaunting. It is not a separate catalog you manage in SailPoint.

Prerequisites

Before you add the source in SailPoint:

  • You have an Akaunting Cloud tenant (https://app.akaunting.com) or a self-hosted Akaunting URL.
  • You can sign in with a user that can view Users (typically Manager on Cloud, or Admin on self-hosted).
  • You know which company you want SailPoint to govern.
  • You have that company's Company Id (see below). Do not use the Account Dashboard API Key. Sign-in email and password are enough.

How to Find the Company Id

Company Id is the number Akaunting puts in the browser address after you open a company. You do not look it up in a developer tool.

  1. Sign in to Akaunting.

  2. Open the company you want SailPoint to govern:

    • Select the company switcher in the navigation menu, then choose the company or
    • Select Manage Companies and switch to that company.

  3. Look at the address bar. The number after the host is the Company Id.

Example

https://app.akaunting.com/405319/dashboard

Company Id = 405319

Use that value in SailPoint Company Id.

Auth Notes

Note

  • Akaunting REST supports HTTP Basic only (email:password).
  • There is no OAuth / Bearer for /api/....
  • Account Dashboard API Key is for Apps/plan only - not for REST aggregation.

Header format:

Authorization: Basic base64(email:password)

The connector uses Basic Login. SailPoint should build $application.accesstoken$ as Base64(username:password) and send Basic auth on operations. You should not paste Base64 as the password.

Required Permissions

Who Access
Manager / Admin (recommended service account) Users list, companies list, API read
Accountant / Employee / Customer Often insufficient for full user aggregation
