01

Why connect a directory

Cloud tags and K8s labels tell you which resource, but not who owns it. Connecting your directory maps spend to real teams and people, which sharpens attribution quality and makes showback, chargeback, and shadow-AI ownership far more reliable.

02

Supported sources

Connect the identity source your organization already uses.

  • Microsoft Entra
  • Google Workspace
  • SCIM provisioning

03

Connect a source

From Settings → Directory, authorize the source and run a sync. Cloptima imports teams and people tied to your customer ownership data and keeps them updated on a schedule.

04

Resolve identity conflicts

When the same person appears across sources or details don't match, Cloptima surfaces a review queue so you can resolve duplicates and mismatches and keep ownership clean.

05

Use it in attribution

Synced teams and people flow into cost allocation and AI usage attribution, so virtual-tag dimensions and LLM spend can be owned by real organizational units, not just inferred tags.
