ChadW.64753 (Customer) asked a question.
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.

HI Chad,
I have worked on the same scenario and here what I did:
1] Create users via Importing CSV but Do NOT Activate them.
2] Write a code in Python to use Okta API and Activate User with option sendEmail=false
