Why teams connect Okta and Plex ERP

Keep the employee, group, and account records that Plex ERP and Okta share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.

An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. Plex ERP holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Okta controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in Plex ERP and their account still being active in Okta is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Quality records, Parts, Inventory, Production jobs in Plex ERP with Policies, System Log, Devices, Users in Okta in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.

That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep customers, parts, and pricing aligned between Plex and the CRM the sales team uses.
  • 02 Push sales orders captured in e-commerce or EDI systems into Plex for scheduling and fulfillment.
  • 03 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Align group and department membership

When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.

One roster on a shared key

People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.

Create accounts from new records

A person added in one system gets a matching account or record in the other automatically, so a new hire can be granted access without anyone re-keying their details.

What you can sync between Okta and Plex ERP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Okta objects Plex ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems Policies is specific to Okta and Shipments to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards System Log is specific to Okta and Quality records to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Devices is specific to Okta and Parts to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Users is specific to Okta and Inventory to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting Groups is specific to Okta and Production jobs to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sales orders Demand records written in from e-commerce or EDI channels and read out for fulfillment status Applications is specific to Okta and Sales orders to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta and Plex ERP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Okta Plex ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. 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.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Plex ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Plex ERP Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Okta through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Okta: 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.
  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Okta and Plex ERP connectors work

Okta

Integration surface
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
