Enable session capture on a project

Note:

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.

Teams can enable session capture for any projects connected to an Advanced Server Access gateway. During setup, you must specify gateway selectors to match the project to one or more gateways. These gateways are then used to record the session logs. See Configure an ScaleFT gateway.

Note:

To use session capture, users must install Advanced Server Access client 1.49.2 or later.

This feature must be enabled for your Okta org. To enable it, contact Okta Support.

New project

You can enable session capture when you create a new project configured to use gateways. See Create a project.
