Integrating Bitsight with Okta

The 'Bitsight Technologies' application found in the Okta Catalog has been deprecated and should no longer be used.

Refer to the following guide to integrate the Bitsight platform with Okta using a custom connector. This method allows you to configure the integration to support specific attributes, such as roles and groups, as needed.

You must be an Admin to integrate Bitsight with Okta. See permissions.
