1Password SaaS Manager is a comprehensive SaaS management platform that provides IT teams with visibility and control across their SaaS stacks.
Instead of adding complexity, 1Password SaaS Manager makes sure everything works in harmony, providing deep integrations with your existing IdP/SSO, business applications, HR tools, Finance/vendor tools, IT/security tools, and more to manage your SaaS environment.

SaaS Management is a team game
SaaS management is fundamentally a team sport that requires collaboration across IT, Security, HR, GRC, and individual business units. As such, interoperability between existing systems is required.
Teams prefer to stick with the tools they know and love, and IT teams need to integrate with these tools to streamline processes.
1Password SaaS Manager Integrations
1Password SaaS Manager complements your existing tools. This approach ensures 1Password SaaS Manager strengthens the systems you already rely on, including integrations with IdP/SSO, IT ticketing tools, and individual business apps such as Google Workspace, JIRA, Slack, and many others. 1Password SaaS Manager connects to your core systems so data and processes flow smoothly between them without adding extra complexity.
For instance, JIRA, used by 31% of 1Password SaaS Manager customers, remains the primary ticketing tool. 1Password SaaS Manager integrates with multiple IT Service Management (ITSM) tools, including JIRA Service Management, to ensure all IT tickets and data are centralized for better oversight. We know how IT teams use JIRA, so we’ve created a deep integration designed to simplify common routines, e.g., triggering employee onboarding and/or offboarding via JIRA webhooks, and two-way syncing 1Password SaaS Manager access requests with JIRA tickets.
To make it easy to understand how SaaS Manager plugs into your environment, our integrations generally fall into a few key categories:
HR tools
1Password SaaS Manager integrates with 32+ HR tools to sync joiner/mover/leaver events and automate workflows the moment employee status changes. That means onboarding and offboarding steps can be triggered automatically, reducing manual handoffs and ensuring critical actions aren’t missed. Tools include ADP, Workday, UKG, BambooHR, Rippling, Zenefits, and more.

Identity providers and single sign-ons (IdP/SSO)
1Password SaaS Manager integrates with IdPs and SSOs to sync user data, track SaaS usage, and close the gap on the “last mile” of offboarding, including app-specific actions like revoking licenses. It also helps uncover unknown OAuth logins, giving you visibility into shadow IT that can slip past SSO-only reporting.

Business apps
From Salesforce to GitHub, SaaS Manager connects directly to business apps to pull rich data such as user roles, license types, and login activity, then uses that context to automate previously manual onboarding/offboarding routines. This can include automating license entitlements, coordinating employee communication, reassigning resources, and optimizing contracts based on real usage.

Finance and vendor tools
1Password SaaS Manager connects with finance platforms and contract management tools to discover apps and link license usage with spend data. That gives IT teams the evidence they need to identify unused licenses, prepare for renewals based on usage trends, and reduce redundancy before invoices are issued.

Security and IT tools
1Password SaaS Manager integrates with security and IT tooling to support discovery, provisioning/deprovisioning, and operational workflows. It integrates with MDMs and EDRs for asset management, resetting 2FA, and triggering containment actions, and supports two-way sync with leading ITSM tools to automate access requests, ticket creation/resolution, and audit-ready tracking.
For example, Jira Service Management (used by 31% of SaaS Manager customers) can remain the central source of truth for ticketing, while SaaS Manager automates work around it, such as triggering onboarding/offboarding via webhooks and syncing access requests and ticket updates in both directions.

Communication tools
1Password SaaS Manager integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord, so automation doesn’t live in a separate tab. Employees can approve, deny, or respond to requests directly in their current workspaces, reducing manual follow-ups, speeding up approvals, and helping teams reclaim unused licenses more quickly.
The same goes for Slack and Microsoft Teams. By integrating Slack and Microsoft Teams messages into automated workflows, users are notified and can interact with 1Password SaaS Manager directly within the messaging platform they use for all other aspects of their work.

Workflow automation tools
While 1Password SaaS Manager integrates with popular business apps, it also replaces workflow tools that lack sufficient depth for IT-specific use cases. Take Zapier, for example. While it’s a solid option for general workflow automation, it lacks the specialized capabilities required for IT operations and SaaS management. It isn’t built to handle the identity context, governance, auditing, and app-specific nuances required for SaaS management.
1Password SaaS Manager, built with IT operations in mind, goes much further. Our automated workflows offer predefined actions tailored to SaaS governance and automation, which Zapier does not match. It also supports SaaS governance best practices by giving IT teams clearer control over access, workflows, and application oversight. By centralizing SaaS management, 1Password SaaS Manager removes the need for generic automation tools and delivers more thoughtful, robust functionality. By connecting directly with your ITSM, 1Password ties SaaS access and lifecycle events into the tools your team already uses, making governance easier.
Audit-ready and streamlined
Every workflow and integration is captured in a centralized SOC 2-ready audit trail, making compliance reporting simple and reliable. If processes orchestrated by 1Password SaaS Manager pass through your messaging tool and your ITSM, how traceable are they for SOC 2 audit purposes? Our business undergoes an annual SOC 2 audit, and we know firsthand how the process can be simplified. That's why 1Password SaaS Manager is designed to serve as the source of truth. Wherever a messaging app is used for collaboration in a workflow or a ticket is synced with an ITSM, all of that detail is captured and cross-linked in the 1Password SaaS Manager audit log.
Most popular tools
Here’s a snapshot of the popular tools (and proportion of customers using them). 1Password SaaS Manager integrates with:
Finance: NetSuite (25%), SAP Concur (10%), and Xero (10%). Integrating with these tools keeps your financial data managed centrally.
MDM: InTune (29%) and JAMF (19%), 1Password SaaS Manager integrates with your mobile device management systems to streamline control.
HR: BambooHR (16%) and HiBob (10%), smooth onboarding and offboarding, with all relevant data stored in one place.
The bottom line: Improve what you have
IT teams don’t need more tools, they need better ways to manage the ones they already have. 1Password SaaS Manager helps you get the most out of your current stack by deeply integrating with the platforms your team uses daily, making it easier to adopt SaaS tools and simplify everyday workflows. It also helps you spot hidden apps and non-SSO tools, so your team stays secure and in control even when work happens outside the usual systems. Whether for audits, SaaS spend management, or process improvement, 1Password SaaS Manager helps you streamline without adding complexity or relying on generic tools or custom IT automation software.
