New feature powers deeper onboarding, flexible
offboarding, and resolves identity conflicts with a simple, no-code
experience
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of
identity for the enterprise, today at Oktane20 Live announced Okta
Lifecycle Management Workflows for Workforce Identity. The unique
no-code feature of Okta Lifecycle Management deepens the power of
identity within an organization by seamlessly automating some of
the most complex, customized provisioning use cases. Generally
available today as part of Okta’s Advanced Lifecycle Management
offering, Workflows provides IT teams with a clean graphical user
interface to build automated business processes without code.
Okta’s most recent Businesses @ Work report revealed that
organizations use an average of 88 applications. Ten percent of
organizations use over 200 applications. The complexity of this
large number of applications, combined with increased workforce
turnover and role changes, makes it very painful for organizations
to stay on top of manual provisioning tasks. These processes drain
IT resources and increase the risk of security vulnerabilities
through orphaned accounts and credentials.
“Adopting more technology is incredibly beneficial for
enterprises today, but complexity is a significant side effect of a
changing technology ecosystem and workforce. There is no better
example of the potential challenges it can create than with
lifecycle management,” said Diya Jolly, Chief Product Officer,
Okta. “Okta’s vision of enabling any organization to use any
technology goes deeper than just access; it’s about improving how
organizations use technology. Okta Lifecycle Management Workflows
improves the efficiency and security of enterprises through its
simple user experience and broad applicability, keeping
organizations secure and efficient without requiring the complexity
of writing code.”
Extending and Deepening Lifecycle Automation
Lifecycle Management Workflows leverages an intuitive
drag-and-drop interface, built-in integrations to the most popular
cloud applications, and “if this then that” conditional logic to
enable administrators to automate the most complex identity-centric
processes without code. Using Lifecycle Management Workflows, IT
teams can handle provisioning tasks like onboarding, offboarding,
username creation, and granular app-specific actions across
applications and groups within an organization. All of this is done
while still maintaining tight access controls that deliver
incredible security and visibility without the time or cost of
custom code.
“Millions of people rely on Slack everyday to make their working
lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive,” said Tamar
Yehoshua, Chief Product Officer, Slack. “Okta Lifecycle Management
Workflows has significantly increased efficiency for us by
automating the provisioning and deprovisioning of users from
applications in our environment, without us ever having to write a
line of code.”
Okta Lifecycle Management Workflows enables enterprises
to:
- Build workflow processes without code: Administrators
within business units can now automate complex identity-centric
tasks without code or IT support, no longer requiring developer
resources or sophisticated knowledge of APIs to create custom-built
integrations.
- Take granular actions during onboarding and offboarding:
Now, administrators can go beyond simply creating an account in an
application to taking actions within the most widely adopted cloud
applications, like assigning access to group channels in Slack or a
territory in Salesforce, among many more use cases.
- Define identity process based on time and context:
Administrators can schedule a deprovisioning workflow for temporary
employees or preserve access to individual payroll information
following termination.
- Resolve identity creation conflicts: When organizations
employ two persons of the same first and last name, administrators
can create detection logic that both detects and automatically
resolves identity conflicts without adding custom code.
- Distill and share important data efficiently:
Administrators can automatically pull and aggregate different types
of data from multiple Okta endpoints, apply logic, format, and
share across the organization.
