Microsoft Office 365 User Import Requirements
Okta Integration Network
Okta Classic Engine
Okta Identity Engine
Overview

This article will discuss the requirements Office 365 Users must meet to be successfully imported into Okta.

Applies To
  • Microsoft Office 365
  • Provisioning
  • Import
Solution

By default, Okta can only import an Office 365 user object when ALL conditions of the following user criteria are met:

  • target user object must be in Active status (it cannot be in Account Disabled/Blocked sign-in status) in Azure AD/Office Admin Portal.
  • target user object has been issued at least one Office 365 license in Azure AD/Office Admin Portal.
  • user object must not have empty firstName, lastName, and email field values in the AAD user object profile.

NOTE: The First Name and Last Name properties are NOT mandatory attributes in the Office 365/AAD user profile, so these fields can be easily missed and left empty in the AAD user profile.

 

To troubleshoot the issue, work with the Microsoft Administrator/Azure AD administrator and perform the below Microsoft user account/profile check:

  1. In Azure AD, check the user profile.

Microsoft Azure

  1. In the Office 365 Admin Portal, check the user profile.

Active users


In the above example, only three users who met the import requirements will be successfully imported into Okta after the import job completes.
