Summary

Tailscale, in collaboration with ConductorOne, offers a solution for automating access requests and approvals to sensitive resources within a Tailscale network, such as production nodes and databases, through the implementation of modern governance and access control policies. This integration allows for the centralization of Tailscale identities and ACLs into an automated identity security control center, enabling on-demand and time-bound access to resources, including those managed via Tailscale SSH. ConductorOne simplifies this process by allowing users to request access through platforms like Slack or the web, which triggers automated approval workflows based on predefined policies and access rules. The system ensures that unnecessary persistent access is avoided, granting users access only to the resources they need for a specific period. Additionally, it provides the ability to automate access reviews, audit reports, and manage requests effectively, with the synchronization of changes between ConductorOne and Tailscale, including integration with Okta for user provisioning.
