790yk (790yk) asked a question.
Is it possible to set up provisioning (i.e set the API access key) programmatically via an API? If so, is there an API for adding a push group to the application?

Hi Sara,
We currently have no public API that would perform provisioning and group push operations. The difficulty in exposing that is the very way provisioning works - Okta is essentially performing API calls from the backend to the target application in order to create or update users and groups, which are specific to each provisioning enabled application.
That being said, the Group Push API functionality feature has been requested on our Ideas Portal:
https://ideas.okta.com/app/#/case/119162
And on a more encouraging note, the Provisioning API feature is planned to be released, initially for the Org2Org application, and then for other OIN apps:
https://ideas.okta.com/app/#/case/125986
We hope this helps!
Thanks for getting back to me, Sebastian. So just to confirm, at the moment neither provisioning nor push group functionality is supported, but it may be in the future? Is there any way that you know of to setup SCIM connections with Snowflake?
Thanks again,
Sara
Yes, you are correct, at the moment we do not have public APIs for provisioning nor group push, that may change later on - provisioning will surely be implemented at some point, and I would encourage you to vote on the Group Push API feature request to draw more attention to it.
On the Snowflake subject, I must admit my ignorance, though we do support SCIM provisioning, if that is applicable:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/scim/scim-20/
You may also try to address this question directly to our developers (as they would be better equipped to answer) on this forum:

Hi Sebastian,
One more related question. Understand that there is no way to setup provisioning or trigger a push via API, but is it possible to add an existing Okta group as a push group in an application via an API? Thanks!
Hi Sara,
Setting up the group push mapping via API isn't supported either at the moment, unfortunately. However, in addition to the feature request I posted in my original reply, there is also this one, that I believe is exactly what you may need:
https://ideas.okta.com/app/#/case/122821
Again, I would recommend voting on the feature request, as a higher number of votes increases the likelihood of the feature being implemented in the near future!
Hi Sebastian. Sara is my colleague, so to continue this discussion, I found that we can setup a push group by rule in the Admin console. Is there an API for adding such rule? It would work for us.
