# Tailscale Integration Tailscale is a secure networking solution that aims to simplify and enhance connectivity across devices and networks. Tailscale provides a mesh VPN (Virtual Private Network) that allows devices to securely communicate with each other, regardless of their physical location or network configuration. ### Integration Benefits for Sprinto The integration primarily helps Sprinto retrieve the user account details like user name, email address, role, etc. It helps Sprinto to map and check if the user with access offboards the organization. The org role information also helps Sprinto ensure only the configured valid roles access the system. #### Sprinto Checks for Tailscale Integration Sprinto offers a series of checks for Tailscale integration to ensure seamless operation. Here's a breakdown of these checks, along with reference procedures for resolving any issues:

### Before You Begin * Log in to Sprinto as an administrator. * Ensure you have "Admin" access to the Tailscale account intended for integration. * Note that Sprito utilizes[ Truto.one](https://truto.one/) as its integration partner. ### Integrating Sprinto with Tailscale Follow the below steps to integrate Tailscale on Sprinto: 1. Get API key from your Tailscale account. * Log in to your Tailscale account using your credentials or available Sign-on options. * Go to Settings, and click Keys under Personal Settings. * Click Generate access token under API access tokens. * Enter a description for the created token. Set the token expiry to a maximum (90 days) and click Generate access token.\ Note: The token expires after your set expiration date. You need to reintegrate your Tailscale account on Sprinto after the token expiry.

### Final Step After completing Step 4, allow 15 to 20 minutes for Sprinto to finish the data syncing process. Sprinto may take a few hours to evaluate the synced data and activate relevant Sprinto checks. If needed, go to Data Library > Access > Critical System to check for pending tasks next to Tailscale.
