Okta
Add Okta to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Okta is the front door to a company's software, so an Okta integration is how your product joins an estate an IT team already governs. You read and write users and their profiles, groups and group rules, application assignments, sign-on policies and enrolled factors, and you can read the system log, which is the audit record of what happened. Most of the real work is lifecycle: a joiner, a mover and above all a leaver. SCIM is how that is done properly, and deprovisioning is the half that matters most, because an account nobody deactivated is exactly the gap a security review goes looking for. fastn keeps each org's credentials scoped narrowly and follows Okta's API as it changes.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer connect their own Okta org and grant only the scopes the features you shipped require.
Provision and deprovision accounts in your product through SCIM, so a leaver loses access the same day.
Read group membership and app assignments to decide what a signed-in user is entitled to see.
React to a lifecycle event in Okta and run the joiner or leaver steps your product owns.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent lists who holds an administrative role and which of them have not signed in lately.
An agent removes a group membership it is permitted to change, and the access it altered is recorded.
An agent traces an access change through the system log and says who made it.
Example prompt
Who has admin app assignments in this org, and are any accounts still active after the person left?
Set up Okta in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Okta connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Okta account, so calls run under their credentials rather than a shared key.
- 03Decide which users, groups and roles your product needs, map those fields, then enable the actions and triggers you want.
- 04Call it from your product and expose it to your agents through the same governed connection.
Why teams use the Okta integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an Okta integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Okta account inside your product and work their users, groups and roles there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: the blast radius of an error is large, so least-privilege and auditability are non-negotiable. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an Okta update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Okta connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep access and identity in step across a customer's estate without wiring it twice.

AWS CloudWatchOkta integration FAQ
How do I add an Okta integration to my product?
Enable the Okta connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Okta account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Okta client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Okta account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Okta account and only ever sees their own users, groups and roles. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Okta integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent lists who holds an administrative role and which of them have not signed in lately.
Who maintains the Okta integration?
fastn does. When Okta changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
What permissions does the Okta integration need?
Only the scopes required for the actions you enable. Each customer grants access to their own Okta tenant, permissions are scoped per tenant, and every call is recorded so an access change can be traced to its source.
Can access changes be automated safely?
Yes. Provisioning and deprovisioning can be driven from your product or an agent within governed permissions, with every action audited, which is what makes automated access changes reviewable after the fact.
What can I build with the Okta integration?
A common starting point: let each customer connect their own Okta org and grant only the scopes the features you shipped require. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Okta integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Okta does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
