Skip to main content
Contentful is a headless content management system (CMS) for managing structured content. Connect your Contentful organization to Oleria to bring member access into your identity and access graph, without a dedicated Contentful-specific integration.

​
What Oleria discovers

User accounts and profile attributes synced from Contentful’s organization directory. Oleria uses this data for dormant account detection and access reviews, refreshed on Contentful’s standard sync schedule.

​
Prerequisites

  • Admin access in Contentful with permission to generate a Content Management API token.
  • Admin access on the Oleria platform to add a new integration.
The exact location of these settings can change over time. If the steps below don’t match what you see, refer to Contentful’s own API documentation.

​
Get your SCIM credentials from Contentful

1

Generate a Content Management API token in Contentful

Sign in to Contentful as an admin, go to Settings → API keys, and generate a Content Management API token.
2

Copy your SCIM Base URL and Authentication token

Copy both values before you leave the page - you’ll paste them into Oleria in the next section:
  • SCIM Base URL - the HTTPS API endpoint for your Contentful organization.
  • Authentication token - the Content Management API token you generated.
Copy the token now. Many applications display it only once. Store it securely and rotate it per your organization’s security policy.

​
Connect Contentful to Oleria

1

Open the integration

Go to your Oleria workspace, select Integrations, then select the Contentful tile.
2

Complete the connection form

Select Continue and fill in the connection form:
3

Save the integration

Select Connect to validate the credentials and save the integration.

​
Verify the integration

Confirm the new instance appears in your Oleria workspace under Connected Integrations with a status of Healthy. Oleria syncs users from Contentful on the standard SCIM provisioning schedule once the initial sync completes.
If Contentful rotates your API token, update the Authentication token in Oleria by editing the integration.

​
Governance actions

Oleria can also invoke lifecycle actions in Contentful when the token you provide has write access:
  • Enable or disable a user account
  • Create a new user
Many teams start with a read-only token for visibility, then grant write access once they’re ready to automate remediation in Contentful.
