I can see in the Okta Admin UI an indication that the profile is managed by a profile master.

Is there a way I can get this indication from the users API `/api/v1/users`?

Yes, it will be in the “credentials : {}” section of a user profile, received from Okta `/api/v1/users/{{userId}}`

```
....   
"credentials": {
    "provider": {
        "type": "FEDERATION",
        "name": "FEDERATION"
    }
},
```

I also thought so, and I already tried it out. However, when I tested the API it got back

```auto
        "provider": {
            "type": "OKTA",
            "name": "OKTA"
        }

```

I know you might be skeptical. I know I usually am.  
Here’s a screenshot.
