What do I first need to do as an admin on Cakewalk?

To get Cakewalk ready for your team, do two things: import users and import apps.

Import Users

• Go to Settings → Data Sources → Users • Select your HRIS or IdP

• Authenticate with an admin account that can read user profiles, reporting lines and groups

• Approve the requested permissions and start the sync

If you can’t connect an HRIS or IdP yet, share a user list with your onboarding team for a one-time import.

Import Apps

• After your first user import, connect Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID to pull apps

• Authenticate with an admin account that can read enterprise apps, OAuth grants and sign-in logs

• Review imported apps in App Governance → Discovered Apps and set status (Managed, Tracked, Restricted, Ignored)

Notes

• Cakewalk automatically discovers apps from your IdP where supported • Use the HRIS & IdP connections pages in the docs for setup details
