Connect Paper to ECA
Give ECA governed access to Paper’s 19 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Paper to ECA in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Paper in Runlayer
Add Paper from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ECA to Runlayer
Install the Runlayer CLI so ECA can reach Paper, which runs on the user’s machine.

Sign in to Paper
Sign in the way Paper requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Paper call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
