Capabilities

The following provisioning features are supported:

  1. Push New Users and Groups

    • New users and groups created through OKTA will also be created in the Autodesk Account.
  2. Push User Deactivation & Reactivate Users

    • Deactivating the user through OKTA will deactivate the user in the Autodesk Account.
    • User accounts can be reactivated in the Autodesk Account.
  3. Push Profile and Group Updates

    • Group attributes and membership updates will be synced in the Autodesk Account.
    • Users' profile details updated through OKTA will be pushed to the Autodesk Account.

Known Issues

  1. Refresh App Groups feature on Okta Group Push is not supported since it imports groups from the SCIM server.

  2. Push groups by name feature on Okta Group Push is supported only when the group name does not exist in the SCIM server or the group can be found for linking.
