Exclude the Zoom License UserType Attribute When Pushing a User Profile from Okta
Last Updated:
Overview
When Okta pushes a user profile update to Zoom, it overwrites the licenses that Zoom manages. Prevent Okta from overwriting the userType attribute, which represents the Zoom license, by removing the attribute mapping and deleting the attribute in the Okta Admin Console.

Solution
NOTE: Okta does not support partial profile push. During a profile update, Okta pushes the application user's full profile, including attributes set to Apply mapping on user create only and Do Not map.
