Okta Integration

Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) platform that enables secure access to applications and systems.

Sprinto’s Okta integration helps you:

• Sync employee data for compliance monitoring
• Automate access reviews and identity checks
• Track MFA status and user access
• Map employee groups for access governance

This integration supports:

• Identity Provider
• Access Review
• Employee Groups

Sprinto checks for Okta integration

How it works

Sprinto connects to your Okta account using an API token and retrieves user, group, and application data.

• Sprinto periodically fetches users, groups, and access data from Okta
• It evaluates this data against compliance controls (for example, MFA enforcement, access reviews)
• Any deviations trigger checks and remediation actions in Sprinto

Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure the following:

• You have admin access to your Okta account
• You can create API tokens in Okta
• Your Okta account has a paid plan (if applicable)
• You have access to the Okta Admin Console

Permissions required

Required OAuth scopes

• okta.apps.read – Required to fetch applications
• okta.users.read – Required to fetch users and user-related data

API endpoints used

Sprinto uses the following Okta APIs:

• api/v1/users/me – Validate connection
• api/v1/apps – Fetch applications
• api/v1/users – Fetch active users
• api/v1/users/${userId}/groups – Fetch user groups
• api/v1/groups – Fetch all groups
• api/v1/groups/${groupId}/users – Fetch users in a group
• api/v1/apps/${appId}/groups – Fetch app groups
• api/v1/apps/${appId}/users – Fetch users assigned to an app
• api/v1/apps/${appId}/users/${userId} – Verify user assignment
• api/v1/users/${userId}/factors – Check MFA status

Roles that can create API tokens

The following roles can create API keys in Okta:

• Super Administrator
• Organisation Administrator (Org Admin)
• Group Administrator
• Group Membership Administrator
• Read-only Administrator

Important considerations

• API tokens inherit the permissions of the admin who creates them
• If the admin’s role changes, the token’s permissions are updated automatically
• It is recommended to:
  • Create a dedicated service account
  • Assign only required permissions to that account

2. Click Manage.
3. Click Sync next to Okta.

Troubleshooting

Connection failed

• Verify the Okta domain format includes https:// .
• Ensure the API token is valid and not expired.
• Confirm the admin has sufficient permissions.

Missing users or groups

• Trigger a manual sync from the People section.
