[SCIM] Sync User Primary Location with Okta
Updated yesterday

Workplace admins can enable customers to sync User Primary Location from their Active Directory. This eliminates the need for admins and users to manually set their Primary Location in OfficeRnD.

The difference from Azure is that Okta doesn’t have a default Office location property. Thus, a custom one needs to be created.

Note: The Primary Office Location data will sync when the user is created in Workplace.

Step I - Create the target attribute

1. In Okta, go to Applications > SCIM > Provisioning tab.

2. Click on Go to Profile Editor.
