Step 5. Provision Okta users in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
Step 5. Provision Okta users in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
To provision Okta users in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
, create users in Okta, assign the users to a group, and then assign the provisioning app to the group.
Before you provision users, ensure that SCIM is enabled in both
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
and the provisioning app and that the test connection from the app is successful.
Every user that you want to provision must be part of a group because
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
roles are mapped to Okta groups. If the user is not part of an Okta group, the user will have no
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
role and cannot sign on to
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
Create users in Okta:
In Okta, on the left panel, select
Directory
People
, and click
Add person
.
In the
Add Person
dialog box, enter the user details.
Click
Save
or click
Save and Add Another
to add another user.
Assign the users to groups:
Select
Directory
Groups
, select a group, and click
Manage people
.
Assign people to the group and click
Done
when finished.
Repeat steps a and b for all groups that you need to provision users for.
When the users are created and are part of a group, assign the app to the groups:
Open the provisioning app that you created.
On the
Assignments
tab, select
Assign
Assign to Groups
.
Select the group you want to assign, click
Assign
, and then click
Done
.
Optionally, enter group attributes such as
Preferred language
,
Locale
, and
Time zone
.
These attributes will be assigned to all users in the group.
The attributes that appear on this page vary based on the attribute mappings configured in the profile editor.
Click
Save and Go Back
.
Repeat steps c through e for all groups that you want to provision users for.
Click
Done
.
After a group is assigned to the provisioning app, all users in the group are immediately provisioned in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
. You can view users on the
Users
page in
Administrator
.
Users will be in the Pending Activation state until they first sign on to
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
. Users are editable while in the Pending Activation state, but once they sign on and the status changes to Enabled, the user details become read-only. Any changes you make to the user details will be overwritten the first time the user signs on to
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
At this point, the users have no groups assigned. If a user has no groups or roles assigned in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
, the user cannot sign on. You must map the Okta groups to
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
roles and push the Okta groups to
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
so that the users get their group and role assignments.
