Disabling or adjusting the import safeguard in Okta allows imports to proceed when Okta detects a high percentage of application unassignments. This prevents imports from pausing automatically when the unassigned user threshold exceeds the limit. Adjusting the provisioning settings in the Okta Admin Console resolves paused imports and modifies the safeguard limits.
