The Corma integration for Asana brings Asana accounts under Corma's access governance: IT knows who can reach projects, tasks, timelines and business information, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. Asana is a cloud-based project and task management platform used by teams to plan, track and manage work across projects, tasks and workflows. It supports collaboration, progress tracking and deadline management for marketing, product, engineering and operations teams.
Where does Asana access management go wrong without integration?
With adoption across multiple teams, Asana access spreads quickly. Team members gain access to projects, tasks, timelines and sensitive business information, which makes centralized access governance critical to prevent unauthorized access and support compliance.
- Setup and maintenance that consume engineering time: custom API connections require authentication, user role mapping and connector updates whenever Asana updates its API, which creates ongoing IT workload.
- Unnecessary permissions that accumulate: without a sync between HR systems and Asana, employees may keep access to projects and tasks beyond their role or after they leave, which increases security risk.
- Former employees with active Asana accounts: manual offboarding can leave ex-employees with access to sensitive project data, timelines and workflows, which creates compliance and data exposure issues.
- Security and data handling risks: disconnected integrations make it hard to enforce least-privilege access, monitor activity and prevent unauthorized access to critical business workflows.
- No visibility into actual usage: organizations often cannot see which Asana accounts are in use, which makes license optimization and access auditing difficult.
How Corma automates Asana access control
- The right access on day one: Corma provisions Asana accounts from HR and identity data, so new employees get the permissions that match their role from the start, through automated provisioning.
- Automated offboarding: when an employee leaves, Corma revokes their Asana access, which prevents orphaned accounts and protects sensitive project data.
- Permissions that reflect current roles: role-based templates keep each user's Asana permissions aligned with their current responsibilities and reduce over-provisioning.
- A record of every access change: provisioning, permission updates and deactivations are logged, which creates an audit trail for GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and internal compliance.
- Live visibility into Asana access: Corma's dashboard brings together HR status, identity profiles, active accounts, project assignments and license usage, so teams can spot dormant accounts, permission gaps and unnecessary licenses.

Frequently asked questions
How does Corma connect to Asana?
Once Asana and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts syncing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to Asana accounts.
Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?
No. Corma's pre-built connectors make implementation simple, with no specialized expertise or external consultants required.
How is employee data kept secure during the Asana integration?
Corma encrypts all data in transit and at rest, requests only the minimum necessary permissions and lets you revoke access at any time. All data is hosted on AWS in data centers inside the European Union, in line with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards.
