Import users via CSV / API as activated without sending activation email
We want to create new users (external to our organization so not in AD) and when they are created, we want them activated but no activation email sent out. Basically, we want to have them hit our login page with directions to click the "reset password" link which would then take them to the okta set password page. Marketing basically wants to be able to control the user experience a little bit to walk the users through this new authentication method as they hit a new portal we have setup for them.
Hello Chad,
Thanks for posting to Okta community.
When importing users via CSV you will be prompted the option to check "Do not create a password and only allow login via Identity Provider". This option will prevent users to receive the activation email.
If using API you can use the flag sendEmail=false as {{url}}/api/v1/users/UserID/lifecycle/activate?sendEmail=false
