# Set up a Panther connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Panther. Integrate your Panther instance with C1 to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

## Capabilities

| Resource | Sync                                                          | Provision |

| Roles    | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |

## Gather Panther credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Panther. Gather these credentials before you move on.

<Warning>
  A user with the permission to make API tokens in Panther must perform this task.
</Warning>

### Create a Panther API token

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In Panther, click the gear icon in the top menu bar and select **API Tokens**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Make a note of the **GraphQL API URL** shown at the top of the page. Panther displays two API URLs: use the **GraphQL API URL** (ending in `/public/graphql`), not the REST API URL.

    <Info>
      The GraphQL API URL format depends on your deployment type:

      * **SaaS**: `https://api.{your-tenant}.runpanther.net/public/graphql`
      * **Self-hosted**: `https://{your-domain}/v1/public/graphql`

      The C1 connector requires this URL to authenticate and sync data.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Create New Token**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Give the API token a name, such as "C1".
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Give the token the following permissions:

    * In the **User Management** section of the page, select **Read User Info**
    * In the **Configuration** section of the page, select **Read Panther Settings Info**
    * In the **Supplementary** section of the page, select **Read API Token Info**
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Create API Token**. The token is shown on a new page.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Carefully copy and save the token.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Done.** Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

## Configure the Panther connector

<Warning>
  To complete this task, you'll need:

  * The **Connector Administrator** or **Super Administrator** role in C1
  * Access to the set of Panther credentials generated by following the instructions above
</Warning>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Panther** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Panther connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)

        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Find the **Settings** area of the page and click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **API key** and **API URL** fields, enter the credentials you created in Panther. For the **API URL**, use the **GraphQL API URL** (ending in `/public/graphql`).
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Save**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        The connector's label changes to **Syncing**, followed by **Connected**. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Panther connector is now pulling access data into C1.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use the Panther connector, hosted and run in your own environment.**

    When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

    ### Step 1: Set up a new Panther connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** > **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Baton** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Panther connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)

        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Settings** area of the page, click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Rotate** to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

        Carefully copy and save these credentials. We'll use them in Step 2.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

    Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Panther connector deployment:

    #### Secrets configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-panther-secrets.yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: baton-panther-secrets
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      # C1 credentials
      BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
      BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
      
      # Panther credentials
      BATON_TOKEN: <Panther API token>
      BATON_URL: <GraphQL API URL of your Panther account (ending in /public/graphql)>
    ```

    See the connector's README or run `--help` to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

    #### Deployment configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-panther.yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: baton-panther
      labels:
        app: baton-panther
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: baton-panther
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: baton-panther
            baton: true
            baton-app: panther
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: baton-panther
            image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-panther:latest
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            env:
            - name: BATON_HOST_ID
              value: baton-panther
            envFrom:
            - secretRef:
                name: baton-panther-secrets
    ```

    ### Step 3: Deploy the connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click **Apps**. On the **Managed apps** tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Panther connector to. Panther data should be found on the **Entitlements** and **Accounts** tabs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Panther connector is now pulling access data into C1.
