Does anyone know if Okta ASA can be used my multiple users (tens to hundreds) to access a single account on a onprem Windows Server?

Hello @OmariR.01649 (Business Insider),
Thanks for posting!
Based on Okta's documentation regarding ASA users, Server account permissions are managed at the group level. When a user belongs to multiple groups on a project, the user has a combination of all the permissions granted to the groups.
If a user has admin permissions on a project, they'll be added to the local Administrators group on each Windows server that's enrolled in the project.
Advanced Server Access provides group management by optionally allowing a group of users in Advanced Server Access who have been granted permissions on a project to be synchronized as a local system group to servers in that project.
Taking this information into account, multiple users should be able to access the account required.

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for the assistance with this.
Ihe documentation also states "Advanced Server Access’s group management feature is currently only generally available for Linux. Please contact Support to learn about our roadmap for supporting this feature on Windows." so I'm not sure if this feature is available for Windows yet.
