Supported Features

The Lightdash connector supports the following:

  • Aggregate Users

Note

This connector is read-only. It supports test connection and account aggregation for Quick Compliance. Provisioning, de-provisioning, and write operations are not supported. The user's role is captured as part of account aggregation. Separate entitlement aggregation is not required.

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.
