Okta Integration

Integration with Auth Provider (Okta)

Onboarding users through the User Management system can become tedious and time-consuming when dealing with a large number of users. Auth providers like Okta offer a solution to this challenge by streamlining the user authentication and role assignment process.

Benefits of Auth Provider Integration

1. Simplified User Management: Auth providers eliminate the need for manual user onboarding through the LightBeam Playbooks User Management system. Administrators can leverage the auth provider's user directory and role management capabilities to streamline the process.

2. Single Sign-On (SSO): Integration with auth providers enables Alert Owners to access LightBeam Playbooks using their existing auth provider credentials. This eliminates the need for separate login credentials and provides a seamless login experience.

3. Centralized Role Assignment: Auth providers allow administrators to map auth provider roles to corresponding LightBeam Playbooks roles. This ensures consistent and automated role assignment across the integrated systems.
