Secure Web APIs
Centralise authorisation and ensure web API security easily with Okta API Access Management.
APIs are the very foundation of modern applications. Okta makes it simple to create, apply, and adapt authorisation policies to protect your APIs.
We helped Pitney Bowes launch its Commerce Cloud, bringing physical and digital capabilities together to solve the problems businesses face in an increasingly complex and risky world.
Dignity Health used Okta to deliver a completely new digital strategy to create positive consumer, patient and provider digital experiences in less than 10 months.
Allergan is using Okta to streamline access and communication across multiple business entities, while keeping tight control over who has access to sensitive information.
Context-aware Authorisation Policies
Our API authorisation policies employ grant types, user-group membership, and external data sources.
Role-based Access Control
Implement role-based access control for REST APIs and more: we allow your teams to establish, maintain, and audit authorisation policies based on group membership and user context - without writing any code.
Separate Use Cases
Use OAuth Client specific authorisation policies to grant or limit access for applications acting on behalf of those users.
Extend with Embedded Data
Integrate with your internal systems to retrieve dynamic data or additional entitlements for downstream applications.
Centralised Administration Allows Decentralised Development
Get a single view of authentication, authorisation, and policies for compliance and audit control.
User consent
Okta allows downstream third-party applications to prompt users for permission to access sets of scopes. Each user’s consent remains valid until they choose to revoke these privileges.
Token preview
Preview the scopes, claims, and values in your OAuth tokens before activating them for APIs.
Dashboard and system log
Get real-time visibility and anomalous behaviour reports. As token-related events such as creation and revocation occur, Event Hooks let you notify external services outside of Okta.
