Onboard a Grammarly App to SSPM

Connect a Grammarly instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.

For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Grammarly instance, you must onboard your Grammarly instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Grammarly using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Grammarly instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.

SSPM gets access to your Grammarly instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.

To onboard your Grammarly instance, you complete the following actions:

Collect Information for Accessing Your Grammarly Instance

To access your Grammarly instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.

Item	Description
User email	An email address of an Okta user account. `Required Permissions:` The user must be a Grammarly administrator.
User Password	The password for the Okta user account.
Okta Subdomain	The Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
MFA Secret Key	A key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication.

As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Grammarly instance from SSPM.

Identify the Okta user account that SSPM will use to access your Grammarly instance. The user account must have administrator privileges in Grammarly. SSPM needs this administrator access to monitor your Grammarly instance.
