Request for Assistance: Importing Users Based on Entra ID OU's into Okta

Hi Team,

 

We're currently working on a use case where we need to import users from Entra ID into Okta. We have successfully integrated the Office 365 app into our Okta tenant for user imports. However, we're facing a challenge in importing users based on their Entra ID OU's into Okta.

 

Could you please provide assistance in configuring the integration or suggest any additional steps needed to achieve this specific import requirement?

 

Your support in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @78q9i (78q9i)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    The O365 app does not have "Profile Source" capabilities for Provisioning. While imports from O365 are possible, there is no OU based filtering.

    The implementation is mostly meant for Okta to O365 type of user management.

    You can look into the possibility of implementing Azure AD (Entra) as the identity provider (Make Azure Active Directory an Identity Provider) for Okta users, which would then allow for new user creation via JIT (just-in-time).  

    Please review the following documentation for configuration option:

    If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you. 

     

    Hope my answer helps!
