SapnaK.74233 (Customer) asked a question.

Introduce a delay in user creation process

We have enabled provisioning in Okta, once users is pulled in from WD, they are assigned a bunch of apps via everyone group.

We are running into timing issues, where in user is getting created with personal email ID in the end applications and sometimes the Immutable ID is null for some users in Okta.

Is there an option to introduce delay in the Okta Workflow, Meaning create users from WD, provisioning to AD and give a pause for an seconds/a min (or validate email ID and immutable ID on the account) and then provisioning the users to other apps.


  • Hello @SapnaK.74233 (Customer)​ Thank you for posting on our Community page!

     

    Okta does not recommend using the Everyone group for group assignment, because of these particular issues. We recommend to create a copy of the Everyone group and use that for application assignment.

    Please see article below as well:

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

    If you are leveraging different groups as suggested by Paul and you still need a delay between app assignments via Workflows you could leverage one of the following Flow Control Action Cards.

     

    • Wait Until (Pause the Flow and wait until the specified time to continue.)
    • Wait For (Pause the Flow and wait for the specified period of time before continuing.)
    • Pause (Pause the Flow and return data to the caller. Resume it by calling the Resume API.)
    • Pause Raw (Pause the Flow and return raw http data (such as XML) to the caller. Resume it by calling the Resume API.)
