Data Model
baton-segment syncs the following resources from your Segment workspace:
IAM Resources
| Resource Type |
Description |
| Workspace |
Top-level container for all resources |
| Users |
Workspace team members with their role assignments |
| Groups |
User groups with shared permissions |
| Roles |

Pending workspace invitations |
Data Resources
| Resource Type |

| Warehouses |
Data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.) |
| Functions |
Custom source and destination functions |
| Spaces |

Entitlements
Role-based entitlements are created on scope resources (workspace, source, warehouse, function, space) using the ternary relationship model: Principal → Role → Scope Resource.
| Resource Type |
Entitlement |
Example |
Description |
| Workspace |
member |
workspace:xxx:member |
User is a member of the workspace |
| Workspace |
{role-slug} |

| Group |
member |
group:xxx:member |
User is a member of this group |

- Workspace → User: All users are members of the workspace
- Scope Resource → User/Group: Role assignments (e.g., "Workspace Owner on C1-twilio-test")
- Group → User: Group membership grants

Development
Running the Test Server
For development without real API credentials, you can use the mock test server:
# Build the test server
go build -o dist/test-server ./cmd/test-server
# Start the test server
./dist/test-server
# In another terminal, run the connector
./dist/darwin_arm64/baton-segment \
--base-url http://localhost:8080 \
--token test-segment-token-12345
The test server provides mock endpoints for all Segment API operations used by the connector.
Building
make build
Contributing, Support and Issues
We started Baton because we were tired of taking screenshots and manually
building spreadsheets. We welcome contributions, and ideas, no matter how
small—our goal is to make identity and permissions sprawl less painful for
everyone. If you have questions, problems, or ideas: Please open a GitHub Issue!
See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
