Overview
How Truto works with BalkanID
The challenge
BalkanID needs users, roles and groups from every app its customers use, including a long tail of smaller tools, often for a specific customer or demo.
What Truto did
Truto builds each requested app into its unified user directory, so BalkanID's code reads every app the same way. Requests go through a shared Slack channel.
The result
Requested apps and changes arrive within days to weeks, in one case the day before a customer demo.
