Best Practice: Review the 'Least Privileges for HaloPSA” on configuring security for the API so it does not use full admin rights.

Overview

Scan results are sent as tickets to HaloPSA, with options for Company syncing to inform teams of scan alerts/results.

The HaloPSA integration has 2 main integration points.

  1. Company Syncing - keep your companies synced between ConnectSecure and HaloPSA. You can import directly from HaloPSA or map an existing ConnectSecure company to a HaloPSA company. This ensures any alerts/tickets raised are going to the correct company.

  2. Create Ticket - enable ticketing integration using your defined Event Set and Integration Profile settings. This is optional and is not required to use Company Syncing options.

  3. Enable Configuration: enable the configuration sync to send all assets to the HaloPSA Assets

NOTE: If you are using Actions in HaloPSA to update tickets, you may need to consider the Private note settings to allow ticket updates from workflows.
