OKTA Stacksync
SSO and SCIM for OKTA
The Stacksync OKTA app is currently under review by OKTA. Until the app is published on OKTA marketplace, here is a guide to synchronize your OKTA users automatically into Stacksync by creating the SCIM app yourself
This setup takes ~10min
SSO is part of Stacksync Enterprise plan, you need to contact us at sso@stacksync.com to have set it up
Notes:
- This setup needs to be implemented by an OKTA ADMIN
- The SCIM integration is associated to a unique Stacksync workspace. If you have multiple workspaces (such as dev, stage and prod) you will need to set up an SCIM app for each of these Stacksync workspaces. Each workspace has independent RBAC enforcement.

Go back to your application and under
Assignmentsassign these 2 groups to the application. Make sure you select the right role for each group. You can ignore the other fields, Stacksync is not reading them.
That's it! 🎉
