Works With
Your Stack.
CtrlLayer does not ask you to rip and replace. It plugs into the RMM and PSA tools you already use, adding privilege management as a layer on top of your existing workflows.

API-First
Architecture
Every action you can take in the CtrlLayer dashboard is available through the REST API. Build custom integrations, automate workflows, or connect to tools we have not built integrations for yet.
RESTful API
Full CRUD operations for tenants, policies, endpoints, elevation requests, and compliance data. JSON request and response bodies. Pagination, filtering, and sorting on every list endpoint.
GET /api/v1/tenants/{id}/endpoints
POST /api/v1/tenants/{id}/policies
GET /api/v1/tenants/{id}/elevations
POST /api/v1/tenants/{id}/reports/generate
Webhook Alerts
Configure webhooks to fire on any event: elevation requested, elevation approved, elevation denied, policy violation, agent offline, compliance check failed. Route them to Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or your own systems.
// Webhook payload example
{
"event": "elevation.requested",
"tenant": "acme-corp",
"user": "jsmith@acme.com",
"application": "cmd.exe",
"risk_score": 72
} Authentication
API keys scoped per tenant or globally across your MSP account. OAuth 2.0 support for third-party integrations. Short-lived tokens with automatic rotation. Every API call is logged in the audit trail.
Rate Limits and SDKs
Generous rate limits for MSP partners: 1,000 requests per minute per tenant. Official SDKs for PowerShell, Python, and Go. Community-maintained libraries for Node.js and C#.
Complement,
Not Replace
Your RMM Manages Endpoints
Your RMM handles patching, remote access, monitoring, and scripting. CtrlLayer does not duplicate any of that. We add a single, focused capability: controlling who gets admin rights, when, and for how long.
Your PSA Manages Tickets
Elevation requests and alerts flow into your PSA as tickets. Your techs work from the same queue they already use. They do not need to learn a new ticketing system or check a separate dashboard.
Your SIEM Gets the Logs
Forward elevation events and audit logs to your SIEM via syslog or webhook. CtrlLayer data enriches your existing security monitoring without requiring a separate pane of glass.
One New Capability, Zero Disruption
CtrlLayer slots into your existing stack like a plugin. Your workflows do not change. Your techs do not need retraining. Your clients do not see a new vendor name. They see better security.
