Add Multiple Users to an Okta Group Using a CSV File

Administrators can add multiple users to an Okta group simultaneously by importing a Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file. This process allows for the bulk assignment of existing Okta users to a specific group directly from the Okta Admin Console.

What are the steps to add multiple users to a group using a CSV file?

Add multiple users to a group by downloading the Comma-Separated Values (CSV) template, populating it with existing user identifiers, and importing the file into the target group within the Okta Admin Console.

1. Select the target group in the Okta Admin Console.
2. Select Assign People.
   
3. Select More Actions.
4. Select Assign people with CSV Import.
   
5. Select the See template link in the Assign people with CSV import window to download the template CSV file.
   
6. Edit the template with the correct userIdOrLogin values. All people listed in the CSV file must already exist in Okta. The CSV file size must be 10 MB or less, and the file cannot contain more than 10,000 people.
7. Upload the CSV file, and select Import and assign when the confirmation message "CSV file parsed successfully" appears.
   
8. Verify the group page displays the "Update assignments: Done" confirmation message, which lists the number of users assigned via the CSV import.
