SvcBancsAPITestT.08169 (Customer) asked a question.
We have created admins to manage specific groups for user creation. IE: Admin Group A can create users in User Group A, but not in User Group B.
These admins need to be able to see Syslog for troubleshooting.
In testing, they are able to see all Syslog activity. We need to restrict this so they only see activity related to their specific users and/or groups.
Is this even possible?
I believe what you are asking if in fact possible, but may require you to leverage the custom role capability in Okta.
Please refer to the below links.. if this is something you have done already, please let me know and we can re-evaluate.
Best practices for creating a custom role assignment
&&
Guidance for structuring Okta groups
It states that in cases where you need to manage group A only but see all users, you would need two distinct roles. In your case, you are asking for the reverse, so you may just need the one.
Thanks!
Hi @SvcBancsAPITestT.08169 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
Following up on what @DonF.81354 (Customer) said - currently the access to the logs is "all or nothing". If the admin role/permission level granted to the specific user grants access to reports, they will see all info. It will not be filtered.
You can suggest a feature enhancement for the logs or admin permissions on the Okta Community page by going to the Community→ Ideas tab. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members. High popularity will increase the likelihood of it being picked up by the Product Team and it being implemented.
