Okta to Gsuite Push Group workaround
So I understand when okta pushes groups to gsuite, it 'masters' them for reliability. However, we have group email addresses that do not have okta accounts, but need to be a part of the google group in order to have posting permissions.
Every-time there is a group push, they expectedly get removed, as they arent in Okta.
We have now had to nest groups and open up posting permissions to everyone, which is by far from ideal.
Has anyone found a work around for this? Im not looking to add them into Okta, as that would take up quite a few licences.
Hello Yahyaa,
I've escalated your question to our Customer Support team. They will respond to you shortly here.
Thanks!

Hi Yahyaa,
This is Sami from Okta support, unfortunately the only workaround in the meantime will be to create a nested group and link Okta to the nested group only, you can find more information in this article.
However you can suggest this on the Okta Community portal by using the 'Feedback' option at the bottom of the Okta admin console. 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.
Thanks!
