- License Optimization: Track application usage and identify unused licenses for cost savings
- User Provisioning: Automate user onboarding and offboarding across all connected applications

What Harmony does with Okta
Connecting Okta lets employees handle the most common account problems, password resets, lockouts, MFA re-enrollment, right inside Slack or Teams, instead of waiting on an IT ticket. Your IT team gets one place to see everyone's identity, group, and app access, and Harmony grants or pulls access as part of a request. When someone joins, moves, or leaves, the right access follows automatically.
Data synced
- User profiles and account status (active, suspended, locked out, deprovisioned)
- Group memberships and the apps each person is assigned
- App catalog, what's connected, who uses it, and when it was last used
- Enrolled MFA methods and recent login activity
Actions available
- Reset a password or unlock an account
- Reset MFA so an employee can re-enroll a new device
- Grant or revoke app and group access
- Suspend an account and end active sessions during offboarding
Real-world use cases
Locked out at 8am: An employee can't log in before a meeting. They ask Harmony in Slack, it verifies them, unlocks the Okta account, and they're back in without opening a ticket.
New phone, new MFA: Someone swaps phones and loses their authenticator. Harmony resets their MFA factors so they can re-enroll on the spot.
Clean offboarding: When someone leaves, Harmony suspends the Okta account, ends every active session, and pulls app access as part of the offboarding workflow, so nothing stays open.
