Hi what exactly do you want to achieve?

Have you already looked at the Okta Provider docs? - [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/okta/okta/latest/docs)

Hi @Ozzzy  
I would recommend having a look at the okta [users](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/okta/okta/latest/docs/data-sources/users) terraform datasource. You can use a data block to import a user or users and include their administrator roles as outlined in the docs.

The [user](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/okta/okta/latest/docs/data-sources/user) datasource also has the capability to include admin roles.
