Projects

A project is a collection of resources with a set of configuration options for the following resource types:

  • Servers

  • Secrets

  • SaaS app service accounts

  • Okta service accounts

For each resource type in a project, you can view accounts that are checked out, perform a force check-in, and manage settings like password rotation and complexity, and maximum checkout time.

Projects exist within resource groups and each project must belong to a resource group. No matter what you choose to secure with Okta Privileged Access, you must create at least one project. Resource admins or delegated resource admins can create projects within the context of a resource group, and each resource group can contain multiple projects.

Prerequisites

  • You must be a member of an Okta Privileged Access resource administrator group or delegated resource administrator group.

  • A resource group is already created. See Resource groups.

Create a project

  1. Open the Okta Privileged Access dashboard.
  2. Click Resource Management.
  3. Select a resource group.
  4. Click Create Project.
  5. In the dialog that appears, enter a project name, and then click Save.
  6. You can now configure the following other project settings based on the resource type.

Delete a project

When you delete a project from a resource group, the system has safeguards to ensure that server access isn't compromised. If you want to delete a project, it can't contain any servers. In particular, servers that have been turned off for 96 hours or more don't appear in a project due to the liveliness checks performed by the Okta Privileged Access server agent. Projects that contain servers that haven't contacted the Okta Privileged Access platform show a warning indicating that these servers need to be re-enrolled after the project is deleted.

  1. Open the Okta Privileged Access dashboard.

  2. Click Resource Management.

  3. Select the resource group that contains the project you want to delete.

  4. Click Delete on the project you want to remove.

  5. Click Remove Project.
