Netanelp.67066 (Customer) asked a question.
There are several ways that user can be created and therefore there are several event of user created, for example: system.import.user.create and user.lifecycle.create which makes it hard to track.
Does all event for say 'user created' trigers the user.lifecycle.create?
And if so is it apply also for groups and devices?

Hi! Thanks for reaching out with your question! So there are a few different Event Types for user creation (and groups, and devices) but there are multiple ways of creating these groups/users.
For instance, a user may be created as a result of an import process (via AD, Workday, etc.) or you could create the user manually within the Okta Admin portal.
Hopefully that helps!! Please feel free to ask any questions! Thanks!
Hi!
Thanks for your replies,
On one hand its good that you specify the exact events, but on the other hand its a bit hard to track.
For example lets say I want to count how many new users was added for a day, it will require to find and process all of that events.
Isn't it easier to provide one event for "User created"(alongside/without the order events)?
That is correct, yes. I would say it really depends on your overall goal. But for getting counts, I would say that "user.lifecycle.create" would be exactly what you need.
