DipaliG.50772 (Customer) asked a question.

Regarding Okta to Workday Write Back Functionality
  1. We also tried calling test Okta API and can see UserId as a find parameter to get a specific user record. Please let us know what is this userid in Okta? Is it an email/employee id which is similar to Workday or Active Directory email/employee id. {{url}}/api/v1/users/{{userId}}
  2. Will Okta Write Back Functionality - OWBF use Workday API to auto trigger updates(Email and Phone Number) in Workday if there are any profile changes in Okta or Active Directory, please confirm.
  3. Can OWBF work independently without import from Workday?
  4. Will OWBF trigger email address and phone number events in Workday for any change in any other profile fields like department,city..etc
  5. Can we write back Username from Okta to Workday by using Write Back functionality.

    Hi @DipaliG.50772 (Customer)​,

     

    Thank you for posting on the Okta community page!

     

    I have done some research on my end in regards to your inquiries and I have provided the information bellow for each question based on what I have managed to find:

    1. The user ID in Okta can be found at the end of the URL when you are on the Okta user profile page, but you can also find the user ID by performing a GET User call through APIs where in the response you will see this information as well. The user ID has the following format: "00u3i424lgyl4bEUh357"
    2. It should auto trigger updates if changes are made in Okta when the user authenticates or if an admin accesses the the user's profile in Okta. Also, you need to make sure that the mappings are set to Create and Update and not to Create Only.
    3. OWBF might work without imports as the imports functionality is to bring data about users into Okta depending on the provisioning settings.
    4. In regards to this inquiry, it mostly depends on how Workday sees those updates and mostly if the app has any functionality of this kind to trigger email addresses and phone number events on the Workday side.
    5. You should be able to write back the Username from Okta to Workday but the username attribute in Okta might need to be set to override the profile master depending on your configuration.

     

    I hope the above information is helpful!
