How is a user reassigned as part of a group in an application?

Reassign a user as part of a group in an application by overriding the group assignment, unassigning the user, reassigning the user individually, and converting the assignment back to a group assignment in the Admin Console.

NOTE: These steps do not apply to the Okta Everyone group because it is a permanent group that includes all users, and altering its membership or application membership is not possible. Attempting to use the Everyone group for application assignment renders these steps inapplicable.

1. In the Okta Admin Console, navigate to Applications > Applications.
2. Select the application that requires the reassignment.
3. Select the Provisioning tab and select To App in the left pane.
4. Ensure that Deactivate Users is disabled.
5. Select the Assignments tab and locate the user.
6. Select the Edit (pencil icon) button for the user assignment.
7. Select Administrator (overrides group) and select Save.
8. Select the X icon to unassign the user from the application.
9. Select Assign > To People to assign the specific user back to the application. Choosing application roles or licenses during this assignment is unnecessary.
10. Select Convert Assignments once the user is successfully reassigned.
     
11. Select the users and select Convert Selected, or select Convert All if all listed users require conversion.
12. Review the Assignments tab to ensure the user is back as part of the group assignment.
