Google Workspace and Importing users from specific OUs
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to have the Okta Google Workspace app only retrieve users from specific Organizational Units, and not the entire organization.
The issue is that we are planning on using Okta only for our teachers and staff. Our students use a different IdP(Clever).
The app populating every staff and student account just makes it harder to go through all those accounts efficiently, being that the vast majority of those accounts are non-pertinent.
Thanks in advance for any helpful tips/comments!
Hi Cesar Morillo ,
Importing users from specific OU of google workspace can't be done because this is not a supported feature in google workspace.
It's more effort than just using the OIN Google connector, but Workflows are your friend here. You'd need to work through the logic, but a W/flow to pull users from Google Workspace, filter them based on their OUs and then create/active them in Okta shouldn't be too much effort.
If you wanted to get fancy you could wrapper it with Okta's new XaaS and also make it a custom Workflows connector. Not mandatory though. Basic workflows should do what you need.
