SandeepA.25600 (Customer) asked a question.

Selecting Manager as Reviewer for campaigns

While creating access campaigns, it's assumed manager Okta attribute will hold the Manager UPN value but if the organization have the manager Okta attribute populated with manager DN from Active directory, then what are the options to select manager as the reviewer?

    Hi @SandeepA.25600 (Customer)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    There currently is no out-of-the-box solution for AD sourced managers, but you are not completely out of options. 

    You will need to do some prep work by creating a custom attribute to map the required manager UPN to the user profile then leverage the "Custom" option under "Reviewer".  

    As a quick, high-level example: 

    • Create a custom attribute in the Okta user profile (give it a preferred name like "customManagerID").
    • Populate this custom attribute with the manager's resolved UPN or email. This is the hard part as populating this at scale requires extra work.
    • In the OIG Access Campaign configuration, select Custom (instead of Manager) as the Reviewer Type.
    • Enter an Okta Expression Language (OEL) expression pointing to your custom attribute, such as user.profile.customManagerID.
