Set up a Linear connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance and just-in-time provisioning for Linear. Integrate your Linear instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

Availability

General availability. The Linear connector is available to all ConductorOne users.

Capabilities

  • Sync user identities from Linear to ConductorOne

  • Resources supported:

    • Organizations
    • Teams

Add a new Linear connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, open Admin and click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Linear and click Add.

  3. Choose whether to add the new Linear connector as a data source to an existing application (and select the app of your choice) or to create a new application.

    Do you SSO into Linear using your identity provider (IdP)? If so, make sure to add the connector to the Linear app that was created automatically when you integrated your IdP with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new app.

  1. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    A Linear connector owner must have the following permissions:

    • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
  1. Click Next.

Next steps

  • If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Linear connector for instructions on integrating Linear with ConductorOne.

  • If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Linear connector

This task requires the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

Step 1: Generate a new API key

  1. In Linear, click your profile photo and select Settings.

  2. Click API.

  3. In the Personal API keys section of the page, enter a label such as “ConductorOne” and click Create key.

  4. The new API key is generated for you. Click the key to copy it to your cliipboard. You’ll use this key in Step 2.

Step 2: Add your Linear credentials to ConductorOne

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Linear connector by either:

    • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.

    • Navigate to Admin > Connectors > Linear (if there is more than one Linear listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).

  2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  3. Paste the API key you generated in Step 1 into the API key field.

  4. Click Save.

  5. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Linear connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Configure the Linear integration using Terraform

As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Linear and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Linear integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
