Configuring Radius Okta Group Rules
The request hits your desk without warning: enforce access controls between Radius and Okta using group rules, and make it airtight. You open the console. No wasted clicks. This is how you control identity flow.
What Radius Okta Group Rules Do
Radius Okta Group Rules connect your Okta groups to Radius projects or environments so permissions follow identity. They bind users to roles according to logic you define—no hardcoding, no manual sync. Once set, group membership drives Radius privileges in real time.
Core Benefits
- Centralized Control: Okta remains your single source of truth.
- Automated Provisioning: A new group member gets access within seconds.
- Compliance by Design: Every permission change is logged and traceable.
Configuring Radius Okta Group Rules
- Verify Integration: Radius must be linked to your Okta instance via API token or OIDC app.
- Map Groups to Roles: In Radius, create rules that match Okta group IDs or names to specific roles or policy sets.
- Set Priority: If a user matches multiple rules, use rule ordering to decide which applies.
- Test Membership Changes: Add and remove users from the linked Okta groups, confirm access updates in Radius instantly.
- Audit Regularly: Check logs in both Okta and Radius to ensure rule consistency.
Best Practices
