JonathanL.62214 (Customer) asked a question.

Missing application.user_membership.add/update/remove Events?

I am new to Okta development and have been tasked with writing an app that receives the following from an Event Hook:

  • application.user_membership.add
  • application.user_membership.update
  • application.user_membership.remove

Good so far, but when I try to create the hook for the events in my integrator org and our admin tries to do it with our corporate org – the events cannot be found in the selection list.

These events are marked as available for event hooks, so it’s not that. Are we missing a module or something that would prevent these from showing up in the pick list?

Thank you all in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Cordially,

Jonathan Lent

    Application User Membership Event Hooks Are Missing from the Okta Admin Console

     

    Overview

    When creating an Event Hook in the Okta Admin Console, the API event types for application user membership do not appear in the selection list because the User Interface (UI) display names differ from the API names.

    To resolve this, select the corresponding UI display names for the desired events. Specifically, the application.user_membership.add, application.user_membership.update, and application.user_membership.remove event types are missing from the pick list when configuring a new Event Hook.

     

    Applies To

    • Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
    • Okta Classic Engine
    • Event Hooks
    • Application User Membership

     

    Cause

    The Okta Admin Console UI uses descriptive display names for event hooks that do not exactly match the technical API event type names documented for application user membership.

     

    Solution

    How are the application user membership events mapped in the Okta Admin Console?

     

    Select the corresponding UI display names for the application user membership API event types when configuring the Event Hook.

    • application.user_membership.add maps to User assigned to app
    • application.user_membership.update maps to Updated user application property
    • application.user_membership.remove maps to User unassigned from app

     

     

    Regards.

    Hi @JonathanL.62214 (Customer)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    Unfortunately, as far as I can see the UI does not line up with the description in the documentation . For example application.user_membership.add is described as "Add user to application membership.", but that is not an available option in the UI, so looking through the available options, I think I've identified the correct equivalents for you.  

     

    • application.user_membership.add - User assigned to app
    • application.user_membership.update - Updated user application property
    • application.user_membership.remove - User unassigned from app
