Define group-based access to your infrastructure that syncs with your identity provider
What you’ll learn
Learning objectives
Key concepts
Control plane
Hoop acts as a central control plane for everything interacting with your critical infrastructure, with all activity tracked and monitored.
User group
A collection of users that shares access to the same set of resources. Access is defined at the group level rather than per individual.
Resource
A connected piece of infrastructure such as a database, server, or cloud service that users can interact with through Hoop.
Default-deny model
All connections and resources are hidden from users by default unless an admin explicitly grants access through group membership.
Identity provider sync
In production environments, Hoop groups sync automatically with identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, or Auth0. Group membership arrives with the user's token and Hoop enforces access accordingly.
Session recording
Every action taken through Hoop is automatically recorded and made available in the sessions tab, including the resource accessed, the user, timestamps, the exact query run, and its results.
