Add Okta to Data Access

After creating an Okta connection to Edge or Collibra Cloud site, add the Okta data source to Data Access.

The data source that you add to Data Access represents your underlying data source. When you add the data source, you can set global or granular schedules to synchronize your data objects, accounts, groups, and access controls. By default, Data Access schedules all entities to synchronize daily at midnight. You can, however, set a custom schedule for specific entities.

Tip If you want to configure a data source that is already added to Data Access, on the data source page, in the upper-right corner of the header, click More icon > Configure.

Prerequisites

  • You have created an Edge connection for your data source.
  • You have a global role with the Data Access > Manage Settings global permission.

  1. On the Data Access landing page, in the left pane, click RESOURCES > Data sources.
  2. Click Add data source.
