Approve Group Membership for New User Creation (Okta) - Workflow Template

Ask via Slack for approval from specific department approvers when a new user is added to Okta.

Updated over 6 months ago

This workflow template facilitates the user access management process by automating approvals when a new user is created in Okta. It initiates by receiving an event for the new user addition and then identifies the relevant department and approvers. An approval request is sent to designated approvers through Slack. Upon approval, the user is added to the specific Okta groups associated with their department. If approval is not granted, a notification is sent out. This streamlines the onboarding process and ensures compliance with access policies.
