Getting Started: Use Okta as Directory and Integrate 365
Our company has no official office or servers or domains. Our users are all over the country and we rely on cloud based tools to get our work done. We have grown enough where we believe we need a single sign on tool. Since everyone already has O365, I'd prefer to import all that information into Okta and then use Okta to provision or deactivate users in O365. I am not sure the best approach to get started, but my thought was to get all the users into Okta from O365 and then add apps one at a time. Thoughts on best approach to do what I am trying to describe?
First, I think using Okta with Office 365 is a great choice, especially with provisioning and deprovisioning. If it were me, I would export the users from O365, including attributes as needed, and then create them in Okta. You can import the users into Okta from a CSV file.

I see. A one time export, then import to Okta. Then, use Okta going forward to provision and deactivate.
That's how I would approach it. However, this is a great board and others may come up with an idea/suggestion that resonates better with you. You can also do a services engagement with Okta, so they can help you with the entire process.
That's good to know. I'd prefer that actually.
