Set up NinjaOne connector

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

Gather NinjaOne configuration information

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in information from NinjaOne. Gather these configuration details before you move on.

Here’s the information you’ll need:

• NinjaOne Base URL
• NinjaOne Client ID
• NinjaOne Client Secret
• NinjaOne Scope

A user with the Admin role in NinjaOne must perform this task.

Create a NinjaOne application

1. Log into NinjaOne and navigate to Configuration > Apps > API > Client App IDs.

2. Click Add.

3. Select API Services (machine-to-machine) as the application platform.

   This creates an M2M app suitable for the Client Credentials Flow used by this connector.

4. Configure the application’s settings:

   • Name: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Baton NinjaOne Connector”)
   • Redirect URIs: Leave empty (not needed for M2M applications)
   • Scopes: Select the required scopes (see below)
   • Allowed Grant Types: Ensure “Client Credentials” is enabled

   Give the application the relevant set of scopes:

   For Syncing (Read-Only Operations):

   • monitoring - Required to read user information and organizational structure
   • management - Required to read role definitions and user-role assignments

   For Provisioning (Read-Write Operations):

   • monitoring - Required to read user information and organizational structure
   • management - Required to create/delete users and manage user information
   • control - Required to manage role assignments and user permissions
5. After saving, carefully copy and save the client ID and client secret.

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

Configure the NinjaOne connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

• The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
• Access to the set of NinjaOne configuration information gathered by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted

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

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors and click Add connector.

2. Search for NinjaOne and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new NinjaOne 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

4. 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.

5. Click Next.

6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

7. Enter the configuration information from the previous section.

8. Click Save.

9. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your NinjaOne connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use the NinjaOne 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.

• Official download center: For stable binaries (Windows/Linux/macOS) and container images.

Step 1: Set up a new NinjaOne connector

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors > Add connector.

2. Search for Baton and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new NinjaOne 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

4. 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.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

7. Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

   Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your NinjaOne connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-ninja-one-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-ninja-one-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>

  # NinjaOne config
  BATON_NINJA_ONE_BASE_URL: <Base URL for your NinjaOne instance (e.g., https://app.ninjarmm.com)>
  BATON_NINJA_ONE_CLIENT_ID: <OAuth2 Client ID for NinjaOne API>
  BATON_NINJA_ONE_CLIENT_SECRET: <OAuth2 Client Secret for NinjaOne API>
  BATON_NINJA_ONE_SCOPE: <OAuth2 Scope for NinjaOne API>

  # Optional: include if you want C1 to provision access using this connector
  BATON_PROVISIONING: true

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

Deployment configuration

# baton-ninja-one.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-ninja-one
  labels:
    app: baton-ninja-one
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-ninja-one
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-ninja-one
        baton: true
        baton-app: ninja-one
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-ninja-one
        image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-ninja-one:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-ninja-one
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-ninja-one-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

1. Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

2. 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 ninja-one connector to. ninja-one data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

Done. Your NinjaOne connector is now pulling access data into C1.
