Connect your Accounts

What is this?

The Sparx SaaS platform uses multiple information sources to give you a wholistic view of the usage for your organization's SaaS apps. The main component is wherever your company's business accounts are hosted. Many of our users use both Google (where they create and host business emails) and Okta (where they host their SSO). Combining these two (or Microsoft + Okta) provides the best picture into usage.

How do I set this up?

Okta

When you go to connect Okta on the Sparx Platform page, you will need to input your Okta domain and API token.

1. Finding your Okta Domain

   1. Wherever you login or use Okta, this will be the domain of your account

   
2. Finding your API token

   1. In your Okta Admin dashboard, navigate to Security > API in the menu bar

   2. In your API table, choose Tokens, then Create token

      
   3. Name your token "Sparx" and click Create token

   4. The popup shows you your API key. You can click the Copy button and paste this into the API Token box in Sparx

      

Google

Note: This must be completed by a Google Workspace Admin

In the Sparx SaaS setup page or Accounts page, click Google Workspace to provide permission to connect this account.

Since Google Workspace does not track login events for accounts not on your SSO (e.g. accounts that sign into apps with Sign in with Google, or just a username and password), we offer the Sparx Chrome Extension.

To get the most accurate usage data for your organization, please download our Sparx extension to your organization.

Microsoft

Note: This must be completed by a Microsoft Azure Admin

In the Sparx SaaS setup page or Accounts page, click Microsoft Azure to provide permission to connect this account.
