Basecamp

The Corma integration for Basecamp brings Basecamp accounts under Corma's access governance: IT knows who can reach projects, files and team discussions, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. Basecamp is a cloud-based project management and team collaboration platform designed to help teams organize work, communicate and manage projects in one place. It provides tools for task management, file sharing, messaging, scheduling and real-time collaboration.

Where does Basecamp access management go wrong without integration?

• Complex setup and maintenance: custom integrations require handling authentication, mapping user roles and maintaining connections as APIs evolve, which creates ongoing IT overhead.
• Permissions accumulating unnecessarily: without synchronization with HR systems, users may keep access to projects and communications beyond their role or after leaving the organization.
• Former employees retaining active accounts: manual offboarding can leave ex-employees with access to sensitive project discussions, files and internal communications.
• Security and data handling risks: disconnected access management makes over-permissioned users and unauthorized access to confidential project information more likely.
• No visibility into actual usage: organizations often cannot track which Basecamp accounts are actively used, which makes licenses and access hard to manage.

How Corma automates Basecamp access control

• The right access on day one: Corma provisions Basecamp accounts from HR and identity data, so each employee gets access that matches their role from the start, through automated provisioning.
• Automated offboarding: when an employee leaves, Corma revokes their Basecamp access, which prevents orphaned accounts and protects sensitive project data.
• Permissions that reflect current roles: role-based templates keep each user's Basecamp permissions matched to their current responsibilities and avoid over-provisioning, in line with the principle of least privilege.
• A record of every access change: provisioning, updates and deactivations are logged in an audit trail, which gives audit-ready records for GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and internal compliance.
• Live visibility into Basecamp access: Corma's dashboard brings together HR status, identity profiles, active accounts, project access and usage metrics, so teams can spot dormant users and permission gaps.

Frequently asked questions

How does Corma connect to Basecamp?

Once Basecamp and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts syncing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to Basecamp accounts.

Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?

No. Corma's pre-built connectors keep setup simple and manageable, without specialized expertise or external consultants.

How is employee data kept secure during the Basecamp 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.
