This article clarifies whether limitations exist for the number of groups in an Okta organization, the number of groups pushed to an application, and the number of Group Rules per organization.

• Group Push
• Groups
• Group Rules
• Okta Integration Network (OIN)
• Lifecycle Management (LCM)

The number of groups allowed in an Okta organization and the number of groups pushed to an application are currently unlimited.

The following limitations and recommendations apply to Group Rules and Group Push by rule:

• Okta organizations can have a maximum of 2000 group rules.
• When using Group Push by rule, it is recommended to use a maximum of 100 groups per rule. Exceeding this limit results in the request becoming rate-limited, which increases processing time.
• Group Push by rule is not available for Active Directory (AD) integrations.
  
  

Groups are pushed to applications using one of the following two methods:

• By name: An Okta application administrator selects groups from Okta to be created and updated in the target application. The number of groups that can be added when using Pushed Groups By Name is unlimited.
• By rule: Create a search rule that pushes any matching groups to the target application. The rule uses criteria based on the Group name or Group description, or both, to push groups simultaneously.
  
  

NOTE: Service providers may impose their own limitations on the number of groups an administrator can manage in their application, which would limit the groups an administrator can push from Okta. Check with the Service Provider for any potential limitations.
