Okta's SCIM is another great option to minimize user management on top of SSO by provisioning your employees to OfficeRnD Hybrid without the need to manually create or import each one of them here. This way you can manage users in Okta and every update there will be synced to our platform.

Important
- We recommend managing and editing employees only in your Active Directory.
- During the initial configuration of the SCIM integration in Okta, Teams from OfficeRnD will be pulled and Groups for them will be created into Okta. These groups can’t be deleted. Please be mindful of that and ensure you have no Teams in OfficeRnD that shouldn’t be created in Okta.
- OfficeRnD supports a multi-team structure - one employee can be part of several teams. The first synced Okta group will be their Primary team. If they are part of other groups you decide to provision, they will be assigned to the person as additional teams.
- Please bear in mind that if an employee leaves the company and their profile is deleted from the Active Directory, they will not be deleted from OfficeRnD Hybrid but will be labeled as Former. If they had any bookings in the system, they will be kept as well. Any future bookings of the said employee must be canceled manually.
