# Okta

Okta is an identity and access management platform that helps organizations securely connect their employees and customers to applications and services. It's primarily used by IT departments and security teams to manage user authentication, authorization, and single sign-on.

## Working with Okta

This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Okta. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.

### Install the CLI

Install the Membrane CLI so you can run `membrane` from the terminal:

```bash
npm install -g @membranehq/cli
```

### First-time setup

```bash
membrane login --tenant
```

A browser window opens for authentication.

**Headless environments:** Run the command, copy the printed URL for the user to open in a browser, then complete with `membrane login complete <code>`.

### Connecting to Okta

1. **Create a new connection:**
   ```bash
   membrane search okta --elementType=connector --json
   ```
   Take the connector ID from `output.items[0].element?.id`, then:
   ```bash
   membrane connect --connectorId=CONNECTOR_ID --json
   ```
   The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id.

### Getting list of existing connections
When you are not sure if connection already exists:
1. **Check existing connections:**
   ```bash
   membrane connection list --json
   ```
   If a Okta connection exists, note its `connectionId`


### Searching for actions

When you know what you want to do but not the exact action ID:

```bash
membrane action list --intent=QUERY --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID --json
```
This will return action objects with id and inputSchema in it, so you will know how to run it.
