Gather Guru credentials

The connector authenticates as a Guru user with HTTP Basic auth. The user whose token you use must be able to read the team’s members and groups. A user with an administrative role on the team is the safest choice.

1. Sign in to Guru with the account you want the connector to use.

2. Create an API token for that account from your Guru API settings. Note the account’s email address — it is the username half of the credential.

3. Copy the token value. You provide the account email as User Email and the token as API Token when configuring the connector.

Configuration fields

Field	Required	Description
user-email	Yes	The email address of the Guru user whose token authenticates requests. Sent as the username half of HTTP Basic auth.
api-token	Yes	That user’s Guru API token. Sent as the password half of HTTP Basic auth.

Synced resource types

• Users: Guru members from /members. A member whose status is not active is synced as disabled.
• Groups: Guru groups from /groups/usergroups, each with a member entitlement.
• Group memberships: membership assignments from /groups/{group_id}/members.

Special notes

• Provisioning is not supported in the current build; the connector performs read calls only.
• The connector authenticates with HTTP Basic auth using the user email and API token.
