Configure administrator settings
As a super admin, you can configure advanced admin settings for your org.
Restrict access to the Admin Console
Early Access release
Users and groups with assigned admin roles have access to the Admin Console by default. However, you can choose to manually assign access to the Admin Console instead. This is recommended if your org has admins who don't need access, like business partners, third-party admins, or admins who only use the Okta API.
There are several important things to note when using this feature:
- Super admins are always granted access to the Admin Console, even when this feature is enabled.
- Some email notifications refer to the Admin Console, even for admins who don't have access to the app.
- If you change your settings for this feature, existing admin role assignments aren't impacted.
-
In the Admin Console, go to .
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Click Edit next to Admin settings.
- Select an option:
- Automatically assign Okta Admin Console (default): Admins are automatically granted access to the Admin Console when they're assigned an admin role.
- Super admin assigns Okta Admin Console: Admins don't have access to the Admin Console unless a super admin assigns it to them manually.
- Click Save.
To assign the Admin Console app to an admin, follow the steps in Assign app integrations.
