Table: okta_group - Query Okta Groups using SQL

Okta Groups are a collection of users defined in the Okta service. They provide a way to manage users and their access to applications and resources. Groups are central to the role-based access control (RBAC) model in Okta, and they can be used for assigning roles and permissions.

Table Usage Guide

The okta_group table provides insights into groups within Okta. As an IT administrator, explore group-specific details through this table, including group profile, type, and associated users. Utilize it to manage access control, identify groups with specific roles, and verify the consistency of group memberships.

Important Notes

This table supports an optional filter column to query results based on Okta supported filters.

Examples

Basic info

Explore the basic information about user groups in Okta to understand their purpose and configuration. This is useful for managing access controls and implementing security policies.

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  description,
  jsonb_pretty(profile) as profile
from
  okta_group;

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  description,
  profile
from
  okta_group;

List groups without membership changes for more than 30 days

Determine the groups that have not undergone membership alterations in over a month. This could be useful for identifying inactive or stagnant groups and assessing the need for membership reviews or updates.

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  age(current_timestamp, last_membership_updated) as last_membership_updated
from
  okta_group
where
  last_membership_updated < current_timestamp - interval '30 days';

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  julianday('now') - julianday(last_membership_updated) as last_membership_updated
from
  okta_group
where
  julianday('now') - julianday(last_membership_updated) > 30;

List groups with profile or membership updates after a specific date using a filter

Explore which groups have had updates to their profiles or memberships after a specific date. This is useful for keeping track of recent changes in group data and ensuring up-to-date information.

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  last_updated,
  last_membership_updated
from
  okta_group
where
  filter = 'type eq "OKTA_GROUP" and (lastUpdated gt "2021-05-05T00:00:00.000Z" or lastMembershipUpdated gt "2021-05-05T00:00:00.000Z")';

select
  name,
  id,
  type,
  last_updated,
  last_membership_updated
from
  okta_group
where
  filter = 'type eq "OKTA_GROUP"'
  and (
    datetime(lastUpdated) > datetime('2021-05-05T00:00:00')
    or datetime(lastMembershipUpdated) > datetime('2021-05-05T00:00:00')
  );

Get group member details for each group

Determine the members associated with each group within your organization. This can help in understanding the group structure and managing user access effectively.

select
  name,
  id,
  jsonb_pretty(group_members) as group_members
from
  okta_group;

select
  name,
  id,
  group_members
from
  okta_group;
