Every company today has a diverse universe of identities across their environment: full-time and part-time employees, contractors, vendors, retirees, service accounts, and now AI agents. Each identity needs accurate data and the right level of access to do its job.
Yet most companies store and manage this data across multiple disconnected systems. HR platforms house employee data. Active Directory might handle certain workforce users. Identity providers like Okta and Entra store authentication and group information. Contractors are tracked in separate databases or spreadsheets. Mergers and acquisitions introduce even more identity stores.
The result is fragmented identity data, inconsistent attributes, duplicated effort, and limited visibility. Teams spend countless hours reconciling records, manually updating access, and trying to understand who has access to what and why. This complexity increases operational burden and creates security gaps.
Identity security cannot work without reliable identity data. It requires a single, authoritative source of truth that unifies identity management across your environment and keeps data consistent everywhere it lives.
Meet Super Directory
Super Directory brings all identity data together into one definitive system of record. It centralizes management of identity attributes, profile types, and group structures across your environment, giving teams a unified control layer for every identity, no matter where it originates.
With Super Directory, companies gain the power to ingest identity data from any system, standardize attributes, create and manage distinct identity types, and automatically synchronize updates across downstream systems. Super Directory also enables identity teams to create password reset workflows, ensuring password policies are uniformly enforced for identities across the organization. One source of truth. One control plane. Consistent governance everywhere.
Super Directory simplifies identity management and allows security and IT teams to focus on strategic work instead of manual cleanup and troubleshooting.
Why Now
Modern enterprises face three foundational realities:
- Identity is exploding. Human, non-human, and AI agents are growing faster than ever.
- Complexity is increasing. M&A activity, app sprawl, and hybrid environments mean identity data lives everywhere.
- Automation is essential. Manual identity operations are too slow and too error prone for modern security.
Traditional identity directories were never built to unify and govern dozens of identity sources, nor to support AI-driven identity growth. Security teams need a higher level of control that sits above the applications and sources that generate identity data.
Super Directory delivers that control.
“Identity is the foundation of modern security, and that foundation starts with normalized, centralized identity data. Most companies have incredible complexity in how identities are created and managed across their environment. Super Directory gives security and IT teams a single source of truth and the automation they need to manage every identity, including AI agents, at scale. This is about simplifying operations for the enterprise,” said Alex Bovee, Co-founder and CEO, ConductorOne.
Key Capabilities
Unified identity foundation
Create one authoritative directory that consolidates identity data from HR systems (including Workday, ADP, Dayforce, and more), Active Directory, identity providers, and more.
User attribute mapping
Normalize and unify identity attributes across systems so identity data stays clean, trusted, and consistent everywhere.
User profile types
Define custom identity types across your workforce and third parties, including employees, contractors, vendors, retirees, service accounts, and AI agents. Super Directory customers can manage an unlimited number of profile types.
Push attributes
Automatically sync identity data and changes to downstream systems for reliable, real-time accuracy.
Group management
Create and manage groups centrally and securely across downstream applications, with defined approval policies to ensure governance.
Push groups
Programmatically ingest, map, and propagate group changes to downstream systems at scale.
Multi-directory support
Designate and manage multiple directories inside ConductorOne so even the most complex environments can unify and operationalize identity data.
Password management
Create automated password reset workflows and enable end users to self-service password updates.
Built for Security and IT Teams
Super Directory gives IAM managers, IT leaders, and security teams powerful new leverage:
- One place to view, manage, and operationalize every identity
- Consistent governance across every user type and system
- Cleaner data, fewer manual processes, and lower operational overhead
- Faster onboarding and offboarding for internal and external users
- Stronger identity security posture through accuracy and automation
Whether a company is managing standard workforce users or a growing population of AI identities and third-party contractors, Super Directory ensures everyone is governed consistently from day one.
A Modern Approach That Works With Your Existing Stack
Super Directory complements tools that may already be in place, such as Okta Universal Directory or Entra ID, by providing a unified control plane across all identity sources, not just one. It allows enterprises to:
- Extend visibility beyond one directory or identity provider
- Standardize data and governance across multiple systems
- Sync identity changes everywhere, automatically
- Ensure consistent enforcement of security policies
- Avoid brittle, custom integration work
Think of Super Directory as the intelligent automation layer that sits above existing systems and connects them into a single identity source of truth.
The modern enterprise deserves simplicity and accuracy when managing identity. With Super Directory, organizations can unify and operationalize identity data in one place, reduce operational complexity, and strengthen security posture across their environment.
