Prodigy - OpenText Directory Services Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Prodigy and OpenText Directory Services

1. Centralized user provisioning for annotation teams

Use OpenText Directory Services as the authoritative source for user identities and group membership, then sync approved users into Prodigy so data scientists, annotators, and reviewers receive access automatically. This reduces manual account setup, speeds onboarding, and ensures only active employees or contractors can access labeling projects.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Faster onboarding, lower admin effort, consistent access control

2. Role-based access control for labeling and review workflows

Integrate directory groups with Prodigy roles so users inherit permissions based on their department or project assignment. For example, annotators can label data, reviewers can approve labels, and ML leads can manage datasets and workflows without separate permission administration.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Stronger governance, fewer access errors, clearer separation of duties

3. Automated offboarding and access revocation

When an employee leaves or a contractor assignment ends, OpenText Directory Services can trigger immediate deactivation of the corresponding Prodigy account. This prevents former users from accessing sensitive training data, proprietary labeling guidelines, or active machine learning projects.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Improved security, reduced compliance risk, faster offboarding

4. Project team synchronization for cross-functional AI initiatives

Sync directory groups into Prodigy to automatically assemble project teams for specific AI initiatives, such as computer vision quality control or NLP classification. Business units can manage membership in OpenText Directory Services while Prodigy reflects the latest team structure without manual updates.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Better collaboration, less administrative overhead, more accurate team assignment

5. Secure access for external labeling vendors

Use OpenText Directory Services to manage temporary identities for external annotators or managed service providers, then provision limited Prodigy access only for approved projects. This supports controlled outsourcing of labeling work while maintaining enterprise identity governance.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Controlled third-party access, auditability, reduced risk in outsourced labeling

6. Audit-ready identity and activity alignment

Combine directory records from OpenText Directory Services with Prodigy user activity to create a clear mapping of who accessed which annotation projects and when. This is useful for regulated industries that need traceability for model training data creation and reviewer accountability.

• Data flow: Bi-directional, with identity data from OpenText Directory Services and activity context from Prodigy
• Business value: Stronger audit trails, improved compliance reporting, easier investigations

7. Department-based access segregation for sensitive datasets

For organizations training models on confidential data, such as healthcare, legal, or financial records, OpenText Directory Services can segment users by department or clearance level and push those rules into Prodigy. This ensures teams only see datasets they are authorized to label.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Data protection, policy enforcement, reduced exposure of sensitive information

8. Lifecycle management for recurring annotation programs

In organizations that run repeated labeling campaigns, directory-based automation can reassign returning users to the correct Prodigy projects each cycle. This is especially useful for seasonal data labeling, model retraining, or continuous active learning programs where teams change frequently.

• Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to Prodigy
• Business value: Faster campaign setup, consistent access patterns, improved operational continuity
