Just-in-Time (JIT) access to Okta SSO Applications by Slack - Workflow Template

Slack mention of "JIT-Access" allowing users to ask for a temporary access to applications via Okta SSO, with an approval flow via Slack

Updated over a week ago

Implement the Just-in-Time (JIT) access workflow template to streamline urgent access requests via Slack for Okta SSO applications. This template enables users to request temporary application access, which, upon Slack channel approval, is granted automatically. It ensures secure, time-bound access, complying with Identity and Access Management best practices, and supports NIST and MITRE frameworks.
