Rapid ISC UI prototyping in Python
Source: YouTube · SailPoint · published Jul 1, 2026 · 34:37
This demo shows how to quickly build a custom web UI for SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) using Python, the Shiny framework, and the SailPoint SDK, enabling tailored business flows without granting users full ISC admin privileges 0:24.
Key Takeaways:
• The demo uses Python 3.11+, Shiny for the UI framework, and the SailPoint Python SDK to interface directly with ISC APIs 2:10.
• Setup requires a working ISC tenant and an API token using the OAuth authorization code flow to authenticate end users properly 3:26.
• Adding a custom component manually requires three steps: creating the UI/server module, registering it in the component registry, and connecting it to the main app 12:02.
• The presenter demonstrates creating a custom "Roles" component that lists existing roles and includes a form to create new ones, allowing business owners to manage roles without admin access 21:05.
• The repository includes an AI assistant "skill" that can automatically generate new components (like a certification campaigns viewer) by analyzing existing code and the SDK 26:48.
This approach provides the flexibility to build specialized interfaces, such as custom audit event views for SOC teams, leveraging the full power of SailPoint's APIs.

[music] >> Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody. My name is Wim Vandijk and I'm a technical specialist with the pre-sales organization here at SailPoint. And today I'll be showing you how you can quickly and easily create your own user interface into Identity Security Cloud. Here's what we will be discussing today. I'm going to give a quick overview of what we're talking about. I'll point out the components that are used or the requirements that you'll need. And I'll do a walk-through of the code of this project as it comes out of the repo. And I will do a little demonstration on how to create your own elements in a custom user interface. So, obviously, Identity Security Cloud comes with a great and modern web interface and is itself a client of SailPoint APIs. Now, …
