C1 provides identity governance for Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center). Integrate your Catalyst Center instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over administrator accounts and RBAC roles.

Capabilities

The connector reads each Catalyst Center administrator account, each RBAC role, and the roles assigned to every account through the Catalyst Center Intent API. Each role is exposed as an entitlement, and a grant is emitted for every account assigned that role.

Gather Cisco Catalyst Center credentials

You need a Catalyst Center account with read access to the User and Roles administration area so the connector can list administrators and roles.
1
Note the base URL of your Catalyst Center instance, for example https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com. This is the address you use to reach the Catalyst Center web UI.
2
Identify (or create) a Catalyst Center account with read access to the User and Roles area, and record its username and password.
