Just-in-time (JIT) access to Okta Groups via Slack - Workflow Template

Slack mention of JIT-Group allowing users to ask for a temporary access to Okta groups with approval flow via a Slack channel

Updated over 6 months ago

This Torq workflow template automates just-in-time (JIT) access to Okta Groups via Slack, providing an efficient solution for short-term access management. When users mention a specific keyword in Slack, the workflow prompts them to select which Okta group access is needed and for how long. An approval request is then sent to a designated Slack channel. Once approved, the user is granted temporary access to the selected Okta group, which is automatically revoked when the specified time expires.
