Onboard a ClickUp App to SSPM
Connect a ClickUp App instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your ClickUp instance, you must onboard your ClickUp instance
to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to ClickUp using administrator
account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your ClickUp instance for
misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a
remediation action based on best practices.
To onboard your ClickUp instance, you complete the following actions:
Collect Information for Accessing Your ClickUp Instance
To access your ClickUp instance, SSPM requires connection information. During the onboarding
process, you specify the following required and optional information.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| User Email | The login email address of a ClickUp administrator account. Required
Permissions: The user must be assigned to the Admin
role, or a role with greater permissions. |
| Password | The password for the ClickUp administrator account. |
| MFA Secret Key | (Optional) 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 ClickUp instance from SSPM.
- Identify the ClickUp account that SSPM will use to access your ClickUp instance. Verify that the account is assigned to the Admin role, or a role with greater permissions.(Optional) Generate and copy an MFA secret key.MFA provides an extra layer of security when accessing the ClickUp administrator account. To enable this extra layer of security, the administrator account must be configured for MFA that uses time-based one-time passcodes.These one-time passcodes are generated from authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator by using an MFA secret key. The key is a shared secret between ClickUp and the authenticator app for generating matching passcodes for verification. Like an authenticator app, SSPM will use the MFA secret key for passcode generation.
- Log in to your ClickUp administrator account.
- Navigate to your My Settings page. To navigate to your My Settings page, locate your account avatar in the lower-left corner of the page and select .
- On your My Settings page, locate the Two-factor authentication (2FA)
section and turn on the toggle for Authenticator App
(TOTP).

A pop-up window displays your MFA key as a text string and also as a QR code. - Copy and paste the MFA key text string into a text file so you can
provide it to SSPM during onboarding. Then continue configuring your
authenticator app by scanning the QR code or by manually entering
the MFA key.
