HeorhiF.32654 (Customer) asked a question.

2 profiles: user and admin

Let's say we have a Salesforce and have been set up the SAML authentication. I can log in to Salesforce as a user with firstname.lastname@domain.com without any problem. Also, I have an admin account for Salesforce with a different user name like salesforceadmin@domain.com and it different than my Salesforce user account. Is it possible to have a user account, and admin account under the same user in Okta?

Same question about Box and other applications with SAML authentication.

Thank you.

    No - not without manipulating the username being sent over SAML each sign in depending on which user you are trying to sign in as (which doesn't work if you implement provisioning anyway).

     

    In cases like this I would recommend implementing a service account with its own Okta identity if you need a functionally separate account, or elevating the permissions within the application for your named account.
