Assign Office 365 to users and groups
You can assign Office 365 to groups and individual users from the app or from Directory. If you are using Okta for provisioning, you can also assign licenses and roles to users and groups at the time of assignment.
If you have set up Okta to Office 365 provisioning and enabled the Create Users provisioning feature before assigning the app to users and groups, it creates user accounts at the time of assigning the app. If the user already exists in Office 365, Okta matches the user profile and maintains the relationship. You can also assign license and role to users in Office 365. This fully automates the ability to provision fully working accounts for end users to log right into.
