Solution
What are the auto-confirm matching options?
Okta provides specific matching options to automatically confirm exact and partial user matches during the import process.
- Auto-confirm exact matches: Okta automatically confirms the user when an exact match with the predefined criteria occurs. This option only applies to existing users in Okta. If an imported user lacks an Okta profile, the imported profile appears in the import tab.
- Auto-confirm partial matches: Okta automatically confirms user creation when a partial match with predefined criteria occurs.
Review the auto-confirm user creation options.
Configure the auto-confirm user creation options to automatically create or activate a user profile if it does not exist in Okta after an import. Review the following image for an example of the user creation and matching options in the Okta Admin Console.
- Auto-confirm new users: Okta automatically creates and confirms an Okta profile. The user remains in a staged status in most cases because they lack a configured password.
- Auto-activate new users: Okta automatically activates new user accounts upon creation.
