Solution
Why does Okta hide Staged users during the Access Request process?
Okta disables the Access Request feature for users in a Staged, Deactivated, or Suspended status to meet compliance requirements. While Okta previously allowed Access Requests for Staged users before the start date, Okta now hides these users during the request process. This represents the expected behavior of the product as part of Release v2026.02.3.
