User17125456064094876747 (Customer) asked a question.
I am trying to configure Okta to use Azure AD as an identity provider using SAML. Documentation says to go to SecurityIdentity Providers, but I cannot find it anywhere in the admin console
Hi, @User17125456064094876747 (Customer)
Thank you for posting on our Community page!
You will need a minimum of Org Admin permission, but we recommend to have the Super Admin one.
The documentation is here (for other users to check out if they encounter a similar problem):

Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!

Overview
The Identity Providers menu under the Security tab may be missing in the Okta Admin Console when configuring an integration using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This issue occurs because the administrator lacks the required permissions. To resolve this, ensure the account has at least Organizational Administrator permissions.
Applies To
Cause
The administrator account attempting to access the Identity Providers menu does not have the necessary permissions.
Solution
How is the missing Identity Providers menu resolved?
Verify the current role assignments and update the administrator permissions to restore access to the menu.
