The Okta app automatically updates your Okta profiles with ChartHop source data. You can configure both Okta profile fields and group memberships. Optionally, you can set the app to create Okta profiles when people are added to ChartHop.

When you install Okta, you'll need to make decisions about how you want to handle Okta profiles, whether you set a default location, and what fields you want to include in your sync.
