How agents use Okta

  • Query Okta's Universal Directory for the inventory of registered AI agent identities and the groups/apps assigned to each
  • Configure an AI agent as a directory entry in Okta Universal Directory so it can be provisioned, grouped, and governed like any other identity
  • Agent provisions new employee accounts in Okta when a new hire record appears in the HR system
  • Agent deactivates accounts for departed employees by cross-referencing an offboarding list
  • Agent audits group memberships and flags users (human or agent) with excessive access privileges
  • Agent resets passwords for users who submit a support ticket requesting access recovery
  • Agent syncs user profile data between Okta and other business systems to maintain consistency
