Keypup has two base concepts to manage the relationship between data and users: App connection and identity linking.
Apps
These are third-party systems (e.g., GitHub, Jira, etc.) that you connect to the platform on behalf of your team. Once you connect an app and enable some projects, data will be imported into your Keypup team account, and all registered team members will be able to view and use this data.
Identities
Linking your identity to Keypup enables the following features:
Logging in through applications
Connecting identities allows you to log in through their respective application, which simplifies accessing Keypup.Filtering on yourself across apps using the operator "is me"
This special operator uses your Keypup account and your connected identities (e.g., GitHub, JIRA) to look up what your username is in each connected application and automatically filter based on these.
E.g., if your username is jdoe in GitHub andjohn.doein JIRA, then usingauthor is meis equivalent to doingauthor = jdoe OR author = john.doe.Filtering on a Keypup user across apps using the operator "is user"
This special operator uses the Keypup account of the selected user and their connected identities (e.g., GitHub, Jira) to look up what their username is in each connected application and automatically filter based on these.
E.g., if John’s username is jdoe in GitHub andjohn.doein JIRA, then usingauthor is Johnis equivalent to doingauthor = jdoe OR author = john.doe.
Where to manage identities?
To link or unlink identities, go to Settings > Account > Identities.
Upon clicking the Link button, you will be redirected to your app authentication page. You can unlink any previously linked identity by clicking the Unlink button.
