Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) does not support inbound System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) provisioning from third-party applications. Administrators must utilize an Okta Integration Network (OIN) application that supports inbound provisioning or configure Anything-as-a-Source (XaaS) to provision users into Okta.

• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
• Okta Classic Engine

What are the alternatives for inbound user provisioning in Okta?

Implement inbound user provisioning by configuring an integration from the Okta Integration Network or by utilizing the Anything-as-a-Source feature.

• Utilize an Okta Integration Network (OIN) application that supports provisioning to Okta. Okta refers to an inbound user source as a Profile Source and processes the data through an import process.
• Configure Anything-as-a-Source (XaaS) as an alternative to SCIM and standard imports for inbound user provisioning.
