Okta Workflows - Preview release notes

Role-based access control now available in Early Access

As Okta Workflows has the ability to make comprehensive changes both within Okta and out to other connected SaaS apps, access to Workflows was restricted to Okta super admins. This limited the number of users, restricted the ability to scale the use of Okta Workflows, and reduced its overall value to customers.

With role-based access control (RBAC), you can assign Workflows privileges to more users without granting unnecessary access.

To support this feature, three new admin roles are now available:

• Workflows Administrator: For full-access administration within Okta Workflows only

• Workflows Auditor: For compliance management with read-only access

• Connection Manager: For securely handling accounts and credentials

This feature allows customers to expand the use of Okta Workflows beyond super admins, enabling more team members to build and manage Workflows securely and efficiently.

To turn on this EA feature for your org, go to SettingsFeatures in the Admin Console and enable these options:

• Workflows Access Control

• Workflow Admin Role

• Workflows Provisioning

See Access Control.

The addition of the RBAC feature includes four new event types to record related actions in Okta Workflows:

• workflows.user.role.user.add

• workflows.user.role.user.remove

• workflows.user.role.group.add

• workflows.user.role.group.remove

See the Event Types API.
