Authorization

When you add an Okta Identity Governance card to a flow for the first time, Okta Workflows prompts you to configure the connection. This connection links to your Okta Identity Governance account and saves your account information, so you can reuse the connection for future Okta Identity Governance flows.

You can create multiple unique connections and manage them from the Connections page in the Okta Workflows Console.

Before you begin

  • The Okta Identity Governance connector requires an Okta app with governance enabled.

  • The necessary scopes must be granted in the Okta Identity Governance app.

  • You must have super admin credentials.

  • You also need the following information for authorizing your Okta account:

    • Domain: The domain of your Okta org, without the https:// prefix or the -admin portion of the URL. For example, if your Okta Admin Console URL is https://yourcompany.okta.com, then your domain is yourcompany.okta.com.

    • Client ID and Client Secret: The client ID and client secret from your Okta Workflows OAuth app.

      You can retrieve these values through the Okta Workflows OAuth app:

      1. In the Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications.

      2. Open the Okta Workflows OAuth app.

      3. Click the Sign On tab and copy the Client ID and Client secret values in your Okta connection details.

You don't need to request scopes in the auth blob.
