Confluence Integration
Confluence is a collaboration software developed by Atlassian that enables teams to create, organize, and share content such as documents, project plans, meeting notes, and more. It's designed to facilitate teamwork, knowledge sharing, and project documentation within organizations.
The following guide will help you integrate and configure Confluence with Sprinto to set up the organization’s policies and manage user access.
How does this integration help Sprinto
Confluence’s integration with Sprinto allows Sprinto to detect policies and documents from your Confluence account and set them up on your Sprinto account to meet the required compliance requirements.
For user access management, the integration helps Sperinto retrieve the user account details for users’ valid access computation defined on Sprinto for Confluence and helps you manage user access on your Confluence account.
