v8s91 (v8s91) asked a question.

Importing and automatically activating new users

In the documentation here: https://help.okta.com/en-us/content/topics/users-groups-profiles/usgp-import-users-csv.htm*:~:text=Do%20not%20create%20a%20password,through%20an%20external%20Identity%20Provider.

 

It states to allow the option to "Do not create a pass and allow login via Identity Provider" you must ensure that "automatically activate new users has been enabled".

 

How do you enable automatic activation of new users?

 

Ultimately, Im trying to import a csv of new users using the import tool and I do not need to create a password for them.

    Once you upload the csv file there will be another popup that has the 2 check boxes you are looking for. I've provided the text found on that popup along with placeholders showing where the checkboxes are located.

     

    **************************************************************

    Import Users from CSV

    Click Import Users to start importing your users.

     

    [Checkbox 1]Automatically activate new users

    When selected, new imported users will be automatically activated.

     

    [Checkbox 2]Do not create a password and only allow login via Identity Provider

    Only use this option for users who will authenticate via an external Identity Provider. When selected, users will not be sent activation emails and will not set up an Okta password.

    Right, the 2nd checkbox is greyed out. The documentation says I need to enable automatic activation of new users to allow the box to be used. My question is how to do that.

      It was gray by default for me too but when I checked the first box the second became un-grayed.
