yacls

yacls

Collect user ACLs from SaaS platforms and export them to YAML files - optimized for diffs and readability by engineers or auditors.

yacls is designed to make regular access control audits easy by offering a familiar standardized format (YAML) for easy reviews and diffing.

The output is optimized for being reviewed by humans within a Github PR periodically and is carefully tuned to make policy drift easy to notice.

Example command-line

Create an audit YAML for a GCP project:

yacls --kind=gcp --project=prod-env --out-dir=./out

Create an audit YAML from a Vercel page:

yacls --input vercel.html --kind vercel

Turn a directory full of input files into a directory full of easily auditable YAML files:

yacls --input-dir=in/ --out-dir=out/

The input files should be named after the appropriate kind, so for instance, ghost.csv or secureframe.html.

FAQ

Why not use the APIs provided by each vendor?

The current structure was put in place because of a separation of duties, where the person running the tool was not the one who had admin access to each SaaS platform. It doesn't help that many SaaS platforms do not provide a documented API to retrieve user lists (Vercel, I'm looking at you!)

At the moment, the only fully automated audit is GCP, though we would like to add more direct API support. HELP WANTED!
