An Okta organization is a root object that contains all other Okta objects.

Every Okta organization has users and applications that must be configured to use Okta. Users can be entered into the Okta ecosystem using the following methods:

  • Users are directly made in Okta.
  • Users are imported into Okta through Okta’s directory integrations.
  • Users are imported through application integrations.

Applications in an Okta organization can be public ones such as Slack or Zoom, or in-house, custom-built applications.
