What Stacksync syncs in Okta.

These objects sync between Okta and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where Okta exposes them.

Users
Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source.
Groups
Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access.
Applications
App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app.
Group Rules
Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location.
Factors (Authenticators)
MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated.
Policies
Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally.
System Log
Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source.
Devices
Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to Okta.

The connector runs on Okta's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.

Use cases

What teams run on the Okta connector.

Okta is the identity and access management system of record for mid-market and enterprise organizations, owned by IT and security teams. Its Universal Directory holds the authoritative user, group, application-assignment, and MFA-factor records that govern who can access what across every connected app. Because it is the source of truth for identity, HR systems feed joiners and leavers into it while downstream apps, warehouses, and SIEM tools read users, group memberships, and the System Log out of it.

  • IT administrators
  • Identity and access management (IAM) engineers
  • Security and compliance teams
  • IT operations
  • Data engineering

  1. Provision, update, and deprovision Users in Okta from Workday or another HR system so identity lifecycle follows onboarding, role changes, and offboarding automatically.

  2. Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.

  3. Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.

  4. Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.

  5. Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.

  6. Provision and deprovision Users and group memberships from Workday or another HR system so a new hire lands in the right Okta groups and apps on day one and loses all access at offboarding, the moment HR updates the record.

FAQ

Okta connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Okta connector?

Okta's core objects — Users, Groups, Applications, Group Rules and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to Okta?

Via REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed, authenticated with SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported). Changes are detected as follows — event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Okta connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in Okta propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does an Okta integration take to set up?

Most Okta integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Okta and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Okta data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Okta data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
