Best way of adding profile pictures and images
Hi,
I would like to know the best way of managing user specific images. I have a next JS app which uses Okta for auth. However, I have discovered that Okta does not allow you to store a user profile.
Does Okta support profile pictures yet, or the ability to store images? I read somewhere it was in the pipeline.
Alternatively, I am thinking I will need to add a url as a custom profile attribute, and store the image somewhere else perhaps a cdn. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this, eg. a cloud photo storage that could work for this use case?
Thanks,
Hi Oliver,
This is Andrei, from the Okta Support team. At this moment, Okta does not have the feature to upload profile pictures for user. With that being said, it seems there is a Feature Request already submitted by another customer, on this specific topic: https://ideas.okta.com/app/#/case/125798. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members of the community, therefore making it much easier for the engineering team to understand the priorities that you have for feature requests. From there, the PM team will review the top 30 most voted upon ideas each month and provide feedback/roadmap status on these via the forum.
Thank you,
Andrei Vincze
