This article clarifies the maximum allowed size for Okta attributes, detailing that while individual attribute values may not have a hard character limit.
- Universal Directory (UD)
- User profile
- User Lifecycle Management
While a character or size limitation is not currently enforced for Okta user profile attributes, as a best practice, Okta recommends maintaining the size of Okta user and App user profiles to less than or equal to 1 MB in size. This recommended size includes the names and the corresponding values of all the attributes that make up a profile.
Okta Admins can leverage Postman and perform a Get User API call to determine the size of an Okta User Profile (for example). Postman will provide the size of the User Profile once the calls run successfully. All attributes of the Okta User Profile will be taken into consideration when determining the profile size. The size of the profile will be listed under the Size portion of the successful API call.
