- Generating the data to create Organizations in Snyk
- Creating the organizations
- Recommendations
Before an import can begin Snyk needs to be setup with the Organizations you will populate with projects.
It is recommended to have as many Organizations in Snyk as you have in the source you are importing from. So for Github this would mean mirroring the Github organizations in Snyk. The tool provides a utility that can be used to make this simpler when using Groups & Organizations in Snyk.
This util helps generate data needed to mirror the github.com / Github Enterprise / Gitlab / Bitbucket Server organization structure in Snyk. This is an opinionated util and will assume every organization in github.com / Github Enterprise / Gitlab / Bitbucket Server should become an organization in Snyk. If this is not what you are looking for, please look at using the Organizations API directly to create the structure you need.
- set the github.com personal access token as an environment variable:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token
- Run the command to generate organization data:
- github.com:
snyk-api-import orgs:data --source=github --groupId=<snyk_group_id>
- Github Enterprise:
snyk-api-import orgs:data --source=github-enterprise --groupId=<snyk_group_id> -- sourceUrl=https://ghe.custom.github.com/
This will create the organization data in a file group-<snyk_group_id>-github-<com|enterprise>-orgs.json
- set the Gitlab personal access token as an environment variable:
export GITLAB_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token
- Run the command to generate organization data:
- Gitlab:
snyk-api-import orgs:data --source=gitlab --groupId=<snyk_group_id>
- Hosted Gitlab:
snyk-api-import orgs:data --source=gitlab --groupId=<snyk_group_id> -- sourceUrl=https://gitlab.custom.com
This will create the organization data in a file group-<snyk_group_id>-gitlab-orgs.json
- set the Bitbucket Server access token as an environment variable:
export BITBUCKET_SERVER_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token
- Run the command to generate organization data:
snyk-api-import orgs:data --source=bitbucket-server --groupId=<snyk_group_id> -- sourceUrl=https://bitbucket-server.custom.com
This will create the organization data in a file group-<snyk_group_id>-bitbucket-server-orgs.json
Use the generated data file to help create the organizations via API or use the provided util.
Use the generated data to feed into Snyk Orgs API to generate the organizations within a group.
- set the
SNYK_TOKEN
environment variable - your Snyk api token - Run the command to create Orgs:
snyk-api-import orgs:create --noDuplicateNames --includeExistingOrgsInOutput --file=group-<snyk_group_id>-github-<com|enterprise>-orgs.json
- Using the
noDuplicateNames
flag (optional) will Skip creating an organization if the given name is already taken within the Group. - Using the
includeExistingOrgsInOutput
flag (optional, default is "true") will Log existing organization information as well as newly created. To set this flag as false, please use "--no-includeExistingOrgsInOutput" in the command, like so:snyk-api-import orgs:create --no-includeExistingOrgsInOutput --file=group-<snyk_group_id>-github-<com|enterprise>-orgs.json
The file format required for this looks like so:
"orgs": [
{
"groupId": "<public_snyk_group_id>",
"name": "<name_of_the_organization>",
"sourceOrgId": "<public_snyk_organization_id>"
}
]
groupId
- public id of the Snyk Group where the organization is to be createdname
- name to use when creating the organizationsourceOrgI
- optional public id of a Snyk organization to copy settings from
- have notifications disabled for emails etc to avoid receiving import notifications
- have the fix PRs and PR checks disabled until import is complete to avoid sending extra requests to SCMs (Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket etc)
