Manage Secure Partner Access

Early Access release

Your business partners may have employees with whom you regularly collaborate to achieve common business goals. This may require granting your partners and their users access to shared apps and resources. Secure Partner Access provides a solution for collaborating and granting secure access to resources for your business partner and their employees (users).

Secure Partner Access gives you the ability to do the following:

  • Create a dedicated portal for your partner admins to manage their user, app, and group assignments. Partner admins can manage users and app assignments outside the Okta Admin Console. This ensures least-privilege access and prevents partner admins from accessing the Admin Console.
  • Delegate administration of isolated populations to your partner admin with specific permission to manage the groups and users. Partner admins can perform all lifecycle management actions for their end users through the portal while being kept out of the Okta Admin Console.
  • Customize and build your portal using APIs instead of Okta's pre-built offering.

Partner portals

Partner portals allow your partner admins to manage users and app assignments. The partner portal displays all the portals that the partner admins have permission to manage.

Requirements and limitations

  • Governance capabilities are only included if you're subscribed to Okta Identity Governance.
  • Some configuration tasks direct you to the Realms documentation. However, not all configurations apply to Secure Partner Access.
