Integrating Cal.com

The Scrut - Cal.com integration fetches user access data, permissions, and role assignments from your Cal.com account and sends them to Scrut’s Access Review module. This integration enables your organization to maintain comprehensive visibility over user access rights and streamline periodic access reviews for compliance and security.

Heads Up!

The data synced from Cal.com flows into the Access Review module in Scrut.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure you have the following access and permissions:

Access

• You must be a Scrut Admin (or Contributor with access to the Integrations module)

• You must have permissions to generate an API key in Cal.com

Permissions

Scrut requires read-only access to the following data in Cal.com

• User Accounts: View name, email, and user role

Pro Tip!

We recommend logging into your Cal.com account before starting the integration to avoid doing so later.
