2wc4c (2wc4c) asked a question.
I am looking to reduce the amount of time admins need to be involved with Okta app integrations. AS the business is troubleshooting a new app connection, they often ask to "see the okta settings". Admins have to do a screen share. The goal would be to assign a business user as an app owner and they could then review only that one app's settings. Admins would only be needed for initial setup of a new app.

The closest you'll probably be able to get to this is to grant the app admin role to a user.
Application Administrator
View and manage user permissions in an application. Note: You can specify one or more applications after selecting this role.
This will also grant additional privileges you MAY not want them to have from a least privilege perspective. You can see what else this provides at the link below.

We set a ad groups as app admin for all apps
just go to admin click apps and individual apps and pick it.
The problem with the Application Administrator privilege is that it also allows the person to access and modify account profiles as well as see all logs. Seems really strange that Okta included the modifying of account profiles as that can be quite risky, when all you really want is somebody to be able to assign or unassign apps to a user. Depends on your org set-up, I guess. For us it was a dealbreaker.
Thanks All. This is good info. Sounds like the App Admin may give too much access but I will explore that role. Appreciate the responses!!
