• Okta Administration
• Admin Role
• Okta Classic Engine
• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)

Please follow the steps below or review the video to assign an Admin Role to a User. Review the linked article below for detailed information on each Role.
 

1. Log in to the Okta Admin Console and navigate to Security > Administrators.
2. Click Add Administrator.
3. Under Select Admin, type the user's email or username and select them from the resulting search.

       4. Select the Role that the user should have and click Save Changes.

NOTE:

• Only Super Administrators can manage administrators in Okta. For more details on administrator roles and privileges, please refer to the Administrators documentation.
• If any role other than "Super Admin" or a standard role that cannot be constrained via resources (such as "Org Admin" or "Read-Only Admin") is selected, a resource must also be assigned to the role to set up granular access for that role to specific groups or applications.
• Additionally, administrator roles are consolidated; this means that if a user is granted both Group and App Administrator rights, they will have the combined access of both roles.
