Hi @SteveM.58178 (Customer)​,

Thank you for posting on the Okta community page!

When new features are being released, they are first deployed only on preview instances because these environments are used for testing purposes to be able to make tweaks or major changes to the functionality in case it does not behave as expected. Also this process is performed to make sure that issues will not be encountered when it will be deployed for customers on the production tenant.

Additionally, I have done some research on my end and it seems that usually, features that are made available in preview, are deployed to production after one week in case no issues are being reported. If updates need to be made in regards to that functionality, the deployment to production might be delayed until the issues are resolved. Furthermore, this specific feature will be generally available when it will be deployed in production therefore it will be enabled by default.

I hope the above information is useful!

@flaviu.vrinceanu1.5628408972654734E12 (Customer Success Service Delivery)​  Did this get resolved? I'm trying to add users using "Bulk assign people to a group | Okta" and this feature still does not exist. We tried to change our view to include preview items, but it still wasn't there. The workaround to create an app and pull people in is cumbersome and confusing when a user sees the app pop up in their dashboard.

Thank you,

John

Hey All, Just an FYI, I finally had it enabled in my production instance with the 2022.08.01 E build. This happened, I think, last Wednesday.

However, after all this, IMHO, while it works, it creates a two step process and the need to manage 2 CSV files for a single customer. We've abandoned the use of this feature and will continue to use a custom attribute in the CSV which we key off with a group rule instead to perform the assignment.

The OKTA built-in is very limited that it only allows you to manage a single group at a time.

1. Export groups (groupId) and users (userId) using the Rocktar extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rockstar/chjepkekmhealpjipcggnfepkkfeimbd?hl=en-US
2. Create a CSV with two columns: the first column is the groupId #s and the second column is the userIds (separated by commas). This CSV can have any many groups as you like, and here is an example of the first row. *Create a small csv file with only 1-3 groups and members for testing.
   1. 00g67e1mph6ZxjRxb5d7 (first column of GroupIds)
   2. 00u5i36ocazcuHEX45d7,00u5iaps7hhDi2Ik25d7 (UserIds separated by commas)
3. Save the CSV file in these same location as the script below.
4. Open a text editor, copy, paste, the script provided below, between the *** (exclude the *) and replace top three {{}} variables and remove the brackets
   1. INPUT = name of CSV file
   2. DOMAIN = domain.okta.com
   3. TOKEN = the okta API token
5. Save the file as .sh file.
6. Chmod 777 the .sh file
7. Run the bash script.
8. You should get 204 responses.
9. Check your OKTA groups.
