How Oblique works

Architecture

Oblique is a drop-in tool that fits between your existing HRIS and your identity provider

Groups created in Oblique are pushed to systems where you need them, with authentication and enforcement handled by your identity provider.

  1. Pull employee data from HRIS

    Oblique pulls information about users and their attributes from multiple systems like your HRIS and IdP, and detects changes that may have downstream effects. Your source of truth for employee data remains your HRIS.

  2. Define teams and attribute-based groups in Oblique

    In addition to attribute-based groups, define cross-functional teams that map to how your organization gets work done. Empower your organization's managers and employees to define, maintain, and update who works on what themselves in a team directory. Access dynamically updates when group and team membership changes.

  3. Grant access in Oblique

    Your IT and security team define entitlements giving users, groups, and teams access to resources, including temporary access. Users can request access changes and provide a justification as part of these. Use this central system of record to define consistent controls for use in multiple systems.

  4. Push access controls to enforcement points

    Oblique makes changes to your corp and prod access by pushing effective membership and access to your identity provider, as well as other group management systems and internal applications. Oblique isn't in line for any access decisions.
