Use Groups claim expression to map group names

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Groups claim expression (Sign on -> OpenId Connect ID Token -> use "Expression" as Groups claim type) to map the names of groups that the user is member of.

 

Example:

If a user is a member of group "A", the token should include claims "abc" and "xyz" in the groups claim, and if he is a member of group "B" as well, claim "def" should also be added to the groups claim.

 

What I tried:

I have tried this with using ternary expressions, but no claim value was passed through. Is it possible to use ternary expressions in the Groups claim expression?

 

So far I tried Groups.contains("appId", "B", 100) ? "abc" : "def", and other group functions described at Okta Expression Language overview guide | Okta Developer. I also tried combining this with Arrays methods as shown at https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/How-to-Write-a-Groups-Claim-Expression-that-Will-Match-Against-Two-Differently-Named-Groups?language=en_US. However, in all cases no claim value was passed through.

    Thank you very much for your answer, @Mihai N. (Okta, Inc.)​! This helped me to set up the mapping I wanted.

     

    My final mapping is:

    Arrays.flatten(

    Arrays.isEmpty(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("appVariableName","B",100))) ? {} : {"def"}, 

    Arrays.isEmpty(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("appVariableName","A",100))) ? {} : {"abc", "xyz"}

    )

    Hi @FlorijnB.50107 (Customer)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    You will need to make sure you are referencing the proper app for your use case. 

    For example in my environment I have multiple Salesforce apps, so I will need to check the variable name for the specific app instance I want to use. You can get the info by going to the Okta Admin Dashboard → Directory → Profile Editor. 

    Pasted 

    So based on this, the expression would look like 

     

    Arrays.isEmpty(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupA",100))) ?

    Arrays.isEmpty(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupB",100))) ? {} : Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupB",100) :

    Arrays.isEmpty(Arrays.toCsvString(Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupB",100))) ? Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupA",100) :

    Arrays.flatten(Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupB",100),Groups.startsWith("salesforce_37fug09","GroupA",100))
