Custom Okta identity and access management integration

## What Harmony does with Okta Custom

Harmony connects to your Okta environment to bring identity and access management directly into Slack and Microsoft Teams, letting employees request access, reset credentials, and manage their accounts without leaving the tools they already use. By reading live user, group, and application data from Okta, Harmony can answer access questions instantly and take real action on behalf of IT staff or end users. This tight connection means fewer helpdesk tickets, faster onboarding, and a consistent identity layer across every workflow Harmony automates.

## Data synced

- User account profiles and status
- Group memberships and assigned roles
- Application assignments per user
- Active directory and federation policy metadata

## Actions available

- Activate, deactivate, or suspend a user account
- Add or remove a user from a group
- Reset a user's password or unlock their account

## Real-world use cases

**New hire, ready on day one**: When a new employee's start date arrives, Harmony detects the pending Okta profile and automatically assigns the correct application groups, then posts a confirmation in the IT Slack channel so the team knows onboarding is complete.

**Self-service password reset**: An employee messages Harmony in Slack saying they are locked out, and Harmony verifies their identity and triggers an Okta password reset in seconds without a ticket ever being opened.

**Offboarding in one command**: A People Ops manager tells Harmony in Microsoft Teams that an employee has left the company, and Harmony immediately deactivates the Okta account and removes all group memberships to cut off access instantly.
