Connect NetSuite to Glean
Give Glean governed access to NetSuite’s 17 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add NetSuite to Glean in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Glean then gets it through the same governed connection.

Approve NetSuite in Runlayer
Add NetSuite from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

Connect Glean to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Glean by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Glean reaches NetSuite’s 17 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Glean
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Glean exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every NetSuite call from Glean passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Glean as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
OTLP telemetry (available)
Glean can send supported OpenTelemetry events to Runlayer for observe-only session visibility.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Glean yet, so control happens at the gateway.
In Glean
- Runlayer sees Glean activity through OpenTelemetry traces for monitoring only; enforcement happens at the gateway.
