Okta Advanced Server Access API Fails To List Teams With Authorization Error
Last Updated:
Advanced Server Access

Overview
When attempting to perform a GET call on the /v1/teams endpoint in the Okta Advanced Server Access (ASA) API, the operation fails with an authorization error. This occurs because team names are environment-specific, and Okta restricts listing all teams by design. Resolve this by querying or updating the specific team settings endpoint instead.
{ "type": "authorization_error", "code": 401, "message": "Missing capability: teams.list"}
Applies To
- Okta Identity Engine (OIE)

Cause
Okta restricts the ability to list all teams by design because team names are environment-specific.
Solution
How are team settings listed or updated using the API?
Retrieve or modify the settings for a specific team by executing the following API request.
GET/PUT on /v1/teams/{{asa-team}}/settings
