Supported features

The following features and functionality are available with a WordPress integration.

Feature Description
Push new users
  • Users created in Okta are sent an email invite to activate their WordPress account. The invitee must accept the invite to become an active site user.
  • A role is required when you assign a new user in Okta. For non-governance orgs, the least-privileged role, Contributor, is assigned by default.
  • The username and email address must be the same and unique.
Push profile updates
  • Updates that you make to a user in Okta are applied to WordPress.
  • You can't update the username or email address. Editing an existing username creates a new user account in WordPress and removes the previous one.
  • Role is the only attribute that push profile updates can update. You can't update the role for a pending user who hasn't accepted their invite.
Push user deactivation
  • Deactivating a user, or removing their access to the app in Okta, deletes their account in WordPress.
  • Only active users (users that have accepted the invite) can be deleted.
Import new users
  • Only active user accounts in WordPress are imported into Okta.
  • Assignments tied to pending, unaccepted invites aren't eligible for import.
Entitlement Management
  • You can manage app entitlements for WordPress in Okta. Entitlement management requires Okta Identity Governance.
  • The integration supports site role assignments. Supported roles are Administrator, Editor, Author, and Contributor.
