Introduction

This time, I will introduce the explanation and use cases of Automation, which is a function of Okta.
Read this blog to learn more about Automation features.

What are Automations?

Automations, as the name suggests, are functions that perform automation.
It is a function that automatically changes the user status when, who, and in what state, or automatically sends an e-mail according to the situation. We will go into more detail with real use cases.

Use case: Disabling users who have not accessed Okta for a period of time

In this case, the user has not used Okta for 30 days = no license required  By doing this within the customer, the account will be disabled for users who have not used it for 30 days.

Setup steps

• Add from Workflow > Automations > Add Automations

• Set conditions

• When will the Automations feature work?
  → Every day at 10:00 AM
• Which groups are targeted by the Automations feature?
  →Everyone
• Under what conditions are you covered?
  → If the user has not used Okta for 30 days

• Next, define an action when the condition is met.

• Send email to user
• Change user status: Suspend/Deactivate/Delete
  → Deactivate process is performed this time

Now let's wait for Automations to work!
