In today's complex IT landscape, managing user identities is anything but simple. Your engineering team might be in Okta, your sales team in Active Directory, and your legacy applications still rely on a crusty old LDAP server. This fragmentation creates a nightmare of custom scripts, brittle integrations, and security gaps. Every new application requires developers to learn yet another proprietary API or protocol, slowing down development and increasing operational overhead.
What if you could manage users, groups, and access across all these systems with a single, elegant API?
This isn't a hypothetical question. At directories.do, we've reimagined directory services from the ground up. We provide a Unified Identity API that turns complex, multi-system identity operations into simple, automated workflows. Let's dive into how it works.
The core problem is disparity. Each directory service—from Microsoft Active Directory and Azure AD to Okta and Google Workspace—speaks its own language. You're left juggling:
This complexity forces your development and IT teams to become experts in multiple identity systems, diverting their focus from building core product features and ensuring robust security.
directories.do introduces a powerful abstraction layer over your entire identity infrastructure. Instead of connecting your applications to each directory service individually, you connect them once to our universal API. Our platform then uses AI-powered agentic workflows to translate your simple API calls into the specific commands required by each underlying service.
The result? You can manage users, groups, and access across any directory service with a single set of commands.
Talk is cheap. Let's look at how incredibly simple it is to provision a new user across multiple groups with directories.do.
import { directories } from 'sdk.do';
// Create a new user in your primary directory
const newUser = await directories.users.create({
firstName: 'Jane',
lastName: 'Doe',
email: 'jane.doe@example.com',
groups: ['engineers', 'product-team'],
attributes: {
employeeId: 'E12345',
costCenter: 'CC-987'
}
});
console.log(newUser);
// { id: 'usr_abc123...', status: 'provisioned' }
Let's break down what's happening here:
Behind the scenes, directories.do handles the authentication, protocol translation, and execution for you, whether it's talking to Active Directory, Okta, or a mix of services.
User management isn't just about creating accounts. directories.do provides comprehensive tools to automate the entire identity lifecycle through a Business-as-Code approach.
We know that integrating a new layer into your identity stack brings up important questions. Here’s how we address the most common ones.
Our platform is built for universal compatibility. It connects to any standard directory service you use today or might adopt tomorrow. This includes, but is not limited to:
The goal is to provide a single, consistent API layer regardless of your underlying infrastructure.
Security is our highest priority. We operate on a principle of trust and transparency. directories.do securely stores your encrypted credentials and uses them to execute agentic workflows on your behalf within your infrastructure's security context.
Yes. This is where the power of abstraction shines. The directories.do API is designed to simplify complex identity operations. Managing group memberships, implementing RBAC policies, and even triggering access reviews are all possible through straightforward API calls, freeing your team from writing boilerplate code for each system.
By unifying your directory services, directories.do empowers your entire organization:
Stop wrestling with fragmented identity systems. It's time for a new approach.
