Identifiers uniqueness

Questions API
1

Hello,

I am working with OKTA API and wonder weather users, groups and apps identifiers are unique among each other or just within themselfs. In other words, is there any possibility to have the same identifier for, for example, user and a group?

Also: is client_id (for example here) always synonymous to application identifier? I noticed that they are the same for my cases, but is it a rule?

Thank you in advance!

Hello @minekaine,
Thank you for reaching out here on the Okta Developer Forum.
Regarding your first question:
It is not possible to have the same identifier. (the user ID and group ID are unique values)

Regarding the second question:
That is not a rule, the client_id and app identifier can be different.
