End of sale announcement
Effective May 1, 2026, Okta will no longer sell or renew Advanced Server Access. Existing customers must migrate to Okta Privileged Access within one year of their next scheduled renewal date to maintain service.
Read the FAQ and learn more about Okta Privileged Access.
Similar to assignments in Okta, Advanced Server Access uses groups to explicitly assign users with associated permissions to projects, giving them access to required resources.
Advanced Server Access can sync your users and groups from the Universal Directory, which provides easier management of people, membership, and roles. See User Management and Configure SCIM for Okta.
Two groups are automatically created for each team: everyone and owners.
- everyone: Includes every user that belongs to the Advanced Server Access team.
- owners: Initially includes only the user who created the Advanced Server Access team. This group can't be deleted.
