Overview

Okta is a cloud-based identity management platform that provides authentication, authorization, and user management solutions for organizations. Integrating ADManager Plus with Okta's identity management system allows for synchronisation and enhanced management of user identities, permissions, and access across the network. This streamlines user provisioning, providing a more centralised and efficient system for managing user identities within the organization.

1. Centralized Identity Management: Streamlines user identity management by syncing user data and permissions, ensuring consistency across systems.
   

2. Workflow-controlled automation: Implement multi-level business workflows to oversee and control automations.
   

Upon integration, administrators can configure automations to carry out desired tasks. These automations can be monitored and controlled by implementing multi-level business workflows, which ensure that they are reviewed and approved before execution. The following actions can be automated:
