JohnT.59157 (Customer) asked a question.
I need to create a Group claim to filter 4 groups.
Group names are: Apple, Orange, Grape, Tomato
In the "Groups claim filter" section in the Sign On tab of the Application configuration
1) Should I use "groups Contains" or should I use "groups Matches regex" option?
2) What is the syntax of the text to be entered for creating the filter ?
3) Is there a character limit for the filter?
Great question, as noted, if you want to send all groups be sure to select the Regex option and enter .* to send them all in the claim.
As for sending only specific groups, such as in your example above, you can use the following:
.*Group1.*|.*Group2*|.*Group3.*|.*Group4.*
For specific groups, I would recommend you use "Matches Regex" using the above syntax. As for the character limit, I am unsure to be honest. I will look to see if that info is out there.
Let us know if that works for you, thanks!
Thanks for your answer, however, I actually have many other groups. 10 in total, so .* will not work. I need to specify just the 4 needed, and exclude the 6 other groups.
do I just enter this 👉 .*Apple.*|.*Orange*|.*Grape.*|.*Tomato.* in the filter text box? Or do I need quotes, parenthesis, brackets?
How to send certain groups that the user is assigned to in one Group attribute statement?
The article above explains the same and provides a capture of the text entered to Okta. Additionally, see my screenshot from my own environment below:
and the results from the token preview:
for reference, the user I used for testing is also a member of other groups. Only these are displayed.
Thanks!
Thanks for the additional information.
Just one more point of clarification. Is the * meant to be a wildcard? Can I exclude that if I know the exact names that I want to filter?
A wild card * might be helpful in some instances, but I want an explicit list.
Here is the Answer,
Thanks to Daniel (okta support) and Don (customer)
I took advice both and tested and found the following.
Use groups matches regex and any of the following formats"
^(Apple|Orange|Grape)$
(Apple|Orange|Grape)
Apple|Orange|Grape

Experts, need help..
Group names in my okta tenanat are defined as below:
aws#avm-xyz-abc_123#AVM_Dev#012345678910
aws#avm-def-pqr_456#AVM_Adm#019876543210
Arrays.toCsvString(String.replace(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("OKTA","aws#avm-xyz-abc_123#"|"aws#avm-def-pqr_456#",100)),"aws#avm-xyz-abc_123#","aws#avm-def-pqr_456#",""))
Expectation:
Only the groups name need to be captured in the token
example:
"groups": "AVM_Dev,AVM_Adm"
