How do user lifecycle events impact group rule evaluations?
When a user profile is updated during a lifecycle event, Okta automatically re-evaluates the user against active group rules and performs specific actions based on the evaluation results.
- If the user continues to meet the rule conditions, Okta retains the user in the group.
- If the user no longer meets the rule conditions, Okta automatically removes the user from the group.
- If the user newly meets the rule conditions, Okta automatically adds the user to the group.
