Integrating Okta with Authomize

Integration with Okta provides visibility about your Okta users, groups, roles and the applications they can access. After integration, Authomize provides visibility into Okta and the applications (in Okta or other IDPs) that Okta supports as an Identity Provider, enabling improved identity security and automated access reviews.

To integrate Okta with Authomize, you will need to provide System Admin privileges to an Okta user and then create a token that can be used for Okta-Authomize communication.
Note: Only System Admins can assign a System Privilege role to another user
