Integrating SailPoint with Linode

Linode (now part of Akamai Cloud Computing) is a cloud infrastructure provider offering compute instances, managed databases, object storage, Kubernetes, VPCs, NodeBalancers, and other cloud services. This document provides instructions to configure a new direct connection to a Linode source. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to Source and Connector Definitions.

Note

To view the latest features, enhancements, and fixes for all SaaS connectors, refer to the SaaS Release Notes page.

Supported Features

The Linode connector supports the following:

Account Management

  • Aggregate Accounts (Entitlements are aggregated as part of Account Aggregation)

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.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites are met before proceeding with the configuration:

  • You have an active Linode (Akamai Cloud Computing) account.
  • You have a user with Account Administrator access.
  • You have generated a Personal Access Token (PAT) from the Linode Cloud Manager. To generate a Personal Access Token, complete the following steps:
    1. Log in to the Linode Cloud Manager.
    2. Select your profile in the top-right and select API Tokens.
    3. Select Create A Personal Access Token.
    4. Provide a label, an expiry, and the required scopes. At minimum, the token needs Read access to Account (which covers /v4/account/users and /v4/account/users/{username}/grants).
    5. Copy and securely store the token, the Cloud Manager only displays it once.
  • For more information about getting started with the Linode API, refer to the Linode API Getting Started guide.

Required Permissions

The Linode user whose Personal Access Token is used for this integration must have sufficient access to read account user data:

  • Unrestricted users (restricted: false) have full account-level access and can read every endpoint required by the connector.
  • Restricted users (restricted: true) need at least account_access: read_only at the global grant level, which grants read access to the /v4/account/users and per-user grants endpoints.
  • For more information about user permissions and API endpoints, refer to the following resources:
