Solution
Starting with Okta version 2019.11.0, System Log events have been added that indicate when Okta user groups are successfully created or deleted. The following events are fired in the System Log when a group is created or deleted:
-
Okta Group creation - group.lifecycle.create
-
Okta Group deletion - group.lifecycle.delete
Check for these events in the System Log by using the following queries: eventType eq "group.lifecycle.create" and eventType eq "group.lifecycle.delete".
For additional information on these System Log events, please visit the Event Types Okta developer documentation.
Optionally, create an Event Hook for both events using Create Okta Group and Delete Okta Group, found in the Subscribe to events field.
