Solution
The creator of a Group Rule will appear as the actor when users are added to the Group Rule during its initial activation. When users are added to a group rule after it is activated, the first event will display the admin's name who created the rule. Subsequent user triggers will be displayed as the Okta System (SystemPrincipal) user.
