Okta Provisioning Agent incremental import

When you perform an incremental import, the full user profile is imported if any of the attributes have changed since the last successful import. This reduces synchronization time and the computational resources that are required to complete the import. The Okta Provisioning Agent lets you import user data from on-premises apps without provisioning capability.

Before you begin

Start this task

  1. In the Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications.
