Assign a single app to groups

When applications share a group, they're "linked". This can be helpful if you need provisioning functionality in an SSO-enabled app.

Okta doesn't support using the same group for app assignment and Group Push. See App assignments and Group Push.

When you assign an app to a group, the group members may get their entitlements assigned by policy, if you've subscribed to Identity Governance and you've anabled Governance Engine for the app and created policies.

Okta Identity Governance is generally available to customers on a subscription basis. For more information, contact your Account Executive or Customer Success Manager.
