Being able to import identities from HR systems and manage them in Okta’s Universal Directory is the basis for all of the downstream Identity actions every customer takes with the Workforce Identity Cloud. It allows customers to develop security policies to authenticate into applications, manage user lifecycles with easy provisioning and deprovisioning actions, and carry out governance capabilities for maintaining security posture as an organization. Okta already supports importing identities with out-of-the-box connectors for a set of popular HR applications (Workday, SuccessFactors, BambooHR, Namely, and Ultipro) and Active Directory. However, we want any organization to have the freedom to directly connect any Identity source to Okta in order to drive access management, user lifecycle management, and governance use cases. Today, we are excited to announce the General Availability of our Anything-as-a-Source (XaaS) APIs, a new Lifecycle Management (LCM) feature that will allow you to import identities from any.
