Hi, What is the correct way of getting users and its relevant information from OKTA. Is there any step by step guide, if we want to support OKTA SSO with our company? ---

Hi @phish.bloop If you are using SAML, the mapping under Directory/Users \>\> Profile Editor \>\> App \>\> Mappings \>\> Okta to App define which attributes from Okta will be sent to your application. If you are using OIDC, then you will need to define the values as follows: - Okta authorization server: same method as above - custom authorization server (From Security \>\> API \>\> Authorization Servers): check out the article [here](https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Security/API_Access.htm?cshid=create-claims#create-claims) ---
