About DigitalOcean

Iru reads Droplets, VPCs, firewalls, team membership, and account settings via the DigitalOcean API using a personal access token as a Bearer credential.

How It Works

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Official references: Personal access tokens, API reference.

​
Prerequisites

  • Access to API token creation for your team.

​
Connect DigitalOcean to Iru

Complete this tab before you connect the source in Compliance.
1

Sign in to DigitalOcean

Open cloud.digitalocean.com and sign in with a team member who can create API tokens.
2

Open API in the Control Panel

In the Control Panel, open API from the left navigation or account menu (labels vary slightly by DO UI version).
3

Generate a new token

Select Generate New Token (or Create token) to begin the token wizard.
4

Name the token and set expiry

Enter a name such as Iru Compliance. Set expiration if your policy requires it; otherwise choose the shortest practical lifetime your team allows.
5

Choose read scopes

Enable read (or read-only) scopes for each resource class Iru must evidence, commonly Droplets, VPC, Firewalls, Account, and related objects your controls reference.
6

Generate and copy the token

Create the token and copy it once. DigitalOcean shows it only at creation. Store it in a vault until you paste it into Iru.
Continue on the Iru Compliance tab.

​
Troubleshooting

Check pop-up blocker settings for the Iru site and try again.
Token copied fully; not revoked.
Create a new token with broader read scopes.
