Connector Improvement: Okta - add support for custom group profile attributes

Answered
Rafal Plachky User

It is possible to add custom profile attributes to the groups in Okta, but fivetran doesn't seem to be able to export them. Those attributes are visible in the Okta API, for example in a "list groups" GET request:

[{ 
  "id": "abcdefg",
  "created": "1970-01-01",
  ...
  "profile": {
    "profile": {
      "name": "group_name",
      "description" : "group_description",
      "CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE1" : "VALUE1",
      "CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE2" : "VALUE2"
    }
  }
}]

I would like to get the value for CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE1 and CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE2 using fivetran, thanks!

    Hi Rafal,

    Thank you for taking the time to make such a clear suggestion.
    Can you share a little about more about what you use these custom_attributes for?
    I'd like to learn more about how you will use these data as I work to slot this ask into our back log.

    Best regards

    Alison

    Hi Alison,

    Thanks for your response. We plan to use this custom_attributes to store custom_id that will be then used to join with data about the same group in other systems, like salesforce and our internal systems. We have inconsistent naming schema across multiple systems which makes finding data for a specific group using the group name very difficult and this custom_attribute will be used as workaround.
