Vanta

Send your Four/Four user list to Vanta every hour for access reviews.

Written by Chris Lloyd

The Vanta connection sends your Four/Four user list to Vanta as user accounts, one way, immediately after connecting and then every hour. Four/Four reads nothing from Vanta.

Data sent to Vanta

Each sync replaces the user list in Vanta, so users removed in Four/Four disappear from Vanta on the next sync.

Field

Value

Name, email

The user's name and email address, with a link to their page in Settings > Team.

Permission level

Admin for users who can manage the workspace, Editor for users with at least one "modify" permission, otherwise Base.

Job role

Sent where Four/Four knows it for that person.

Created, last updated, status

Timestamps, and status Active.

Authentication method

SSO if Google or Microsoft sign-in is connected, otherwise Password. Okta is not currently counted, so Okta workspaces may show Password.

Multi-factor authentication

Always sent as not enabled, because MFA is managed by your identity provider, not Four/Four.

Set up

  1. Go to Settings > Connections and scroll to Authentication & governance.

  2. On the Vanta card, click Connect.

  3. Sign in to Vanta if asked and approve the access request. Four/Four requests permission to read and write only the resources it creates for this connection.

  4. You return to Settings > Connections and the card shows Connected. The first sync starts straight away.

  5. In Vanta, check the Four/Four user accounts have appeared. This can take a few minutes.

There are no settings after connecting. Disconnect stops syncing and revokes Four/Four's access in Vanta.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failed: Four/Four could not read from Vanta with the saved connection, for example because it was removed or revoked in Vanta. Click Disconnect, then Connect.

  • Not connected: click Connect.

  • Users missing in Vanta: wait for the next hourly sync and check the user exists under Settings > Team.

Permissions

Connecting and disconnecting Vanta in Four/Four needs the Manage connections permission. Without it, you cannot connect or disconnect the integration.
