Okta Lifecycle Management
San Francisco, California, USA
What it is
Okta Lifecycle Management automates employee joiner, mover, and leaver processes by linking HR systems with an organization’s IT infrastructure. It imports identities from HR systems and directories, consolidating varied end users in one place. Named sources include Workday, BambooHR, and SuccessFactors. Automated provisioning supports thousands of applications through SCIM. Policies can grant or remove access according to groups, dates, inactivity, and other conditions. Mover automation can remove old permissions and add new ones when an employee changes departments, supporting least privilege. Reports show who can access an application, which applications an individual can access, and who was recently deprovisioned. Okta Workflows adds no-code customization for identity processes. The cloud-based service supports web, API, Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted environments. Okta’s integration catalog lists more than 8,000 pre-built integrations. Essentials costs $17 a month per user when billed annually and includes 50 Workflows, with a $1,500 annual contract minimum for Workforce Identity. A free trial is available; no free plan is offered.
