About OpenCrowd
OpenCrowd is an open-source Identity & Access Governance platform built for organizations that run open-source collaboration tools.
We solve a fundamental problem: as organizations adopt sovereign digital workplaces (xWiki, OpenProject, Nextcloud), they lose visibility and control over who has access to what, across which applications, and why.
OpenCrowd provides that single source of truth.
Our Mission
Bring enterprise-grade identity governance to the open-source world — without vendor lock-in, without forced cloud, and without compromising on sovereignty.
What We Believe
- Open source first — The core platform is and will always be open source.
- Sovereignty by design — Your data, your infrastructure, your rules.
- European-built — Powered by Mistral AI (Paris). Data stays where you decide.
- Governance, not authentication — Identity providers handle "who are you?" OpenCrowd handles "who should have access to what, and is it still appropriate?"
- Simplicity over complexity — One onboard, one offboard, one view. Not spreadsheets across 5 tools.
Who We Are
OpenCrowd is developed by a small, independent, open-source oriented team focused on open identity and access governance for sovereign digital workplaces.
We are product builders and governance practitioners who care about practical access control, auditability, interoperability, and the long-term health of open-source collaboration ecosystems.
Our Expertise
- Identity and access governance across users, groups, roles, approvals, and access reviews.
- Open-source collaboration platforms such as xWiki, OpenProject, Nextcloud, GitLab, and Mattermost.
- Enterprise software architecture, API integrations, connector design, and self-hosted deployments.
- Compliance-aware workflows for audit evidence, least privilege, lifecycle management, and access certification.
- Sovereign infrastructure patterns including on-premises, private cloud, and hybrid environments.
Partner Network
We are building a partner network of implementation, hosting, integration, and advisory organizations that can help customers deploy OpenCrowd with confidence.
If your organization works with identity governance, open-source workplace platforms, managed hosting, compliance, or digital sovereignty initiatives, we would be happy to explore partnership opportunities.
