## SCIM Integration: Okta and DataHub | ||
<FeatureAvailability saasOnly /> | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
This document covers the steps required to enable SCIM provisioning from Okta to DataHub. | ||
|
||
This document assumes you are using OIDC for SSO with DataHub. | ||
Since Okta doesn't currently support SCIM with OIDC, you would need to create an additional SWA-app-integration to enable SCIM provisioning. | ||
|
||
On completing the steps in this guide, Okta will start automatically pushing changes to users/groups of this SWA-app-integration to DataHub, thereby simplifying provisioning of users/groups in DataHub. | ||
|
||
### Why SCIM provisioning? | ||
Let us look at an example of the flows enabled through SCIM provisioning. | ||
|
||
Consider the following configuration in Okta | ||
- A group `governance-team` | ||
- And it has two members `john` and `sid` | ||
- And the group has role `Reader` | ||
|
||
Through SCIM provisioning, the following are enabled: | ||
* If the `governance-team` group is assigned to the DataHub app in Okta with the role `Reader`, Okta will create the users `john` and `sid` in DataHub with the `Reader` role. | ||
* If you remove `john` from group `governance-team` then `john` would automatically get deactivated in DataHub. | ||
* If you remove `sid` from the DataHub app in Okta, then `sid` would automatically get deactivated in DataHub. | ||
|
||
Generally, any user assignment/unassignment to the app in Okta - directly or through groups - are automatically reflected in the DataHub application. | ||
|
||
This guide also covers other variations such as how to assign a role to a user directly, and how group-information can be pushed to DataHub. | ||
|
||
> Only Admin, Editor and Reader roles are supported in DataHub. These roles are preconfigured/created on DataHub. | ||
## Configuring SCIM provisioning | ||
|
||
### 1. Create an SWA app integration | ||
a). Create a new [SWA app integration](https://help.okta.com/en-us/content/topics/apps/apps_app_integration_wizard_swa.htm), called say, `DataHub-SCIM-SWA`. | ||
|
||
Note: this app-integration will only be used for SCIM provisioning. You would continue to use the existing OIDC-app-integration for SSO. | ||
|
||
b). In the `General` tab of the `DataHub-SCIM-SWA` application, check the `Enable SCIM provisioning` option | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/appSettingsEnableScim.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
You may also want to configure the other selections as shown in the above image, so that this application isn't visible to your users. | ||
|
||
### 2. Configure SCIM | ||
|
||
a). Generate a personal access token from [DataHub](../../docs/authentication/personal-access-tokens.md#creating-personal-access-tokens). | ||
|
||
b). In the `Provisioning` tab, configure the DataHub-SCIM endpoint as shown in the below image: | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/scimConfig1.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
**Note**: Set the value of the `Bearer` field to the personal access token obtained in step (a) above. | ||
|
||
c). Configure the `To App` section as shown below: | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/scimConfig2.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
**Note**: We are not pushing passwords to DataHub over SCIM, since we are assuming SSO with OIDC as mentioned earlier. | ||
|
||
### 3. Add a custom attribute to represent roles | ||
a). Navigate to `Directory` -> `Profile Editor`, and select the user-profile of this new application. | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/profileEditor.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
b). Click `Add Attribute` and define a new attribute that will be used to specify the role of a DataHub user. | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/defineRoleAttribute.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
* Set value of `External name` to `roles.^[primary==true].value` | ||
* Set value of `External namespace` to `urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User` | ||
* Define an enumerated list of values as shown in the above image | ||
* Mark this attribute as required | ||
* Select `Attribute type` as `Personal` | ||
|
||
c). Add a similar attribute for groups i.e. repeat step (b) above, but select `Attribute Type` as `Group`. (Specify the variable name as, say, `dataHubGroupRoles`.) | ||
|
||
### 4. Assign users & groups to the app | ||
Assign users and groups to the app from the `Assignments` tab: | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/assignUsersGroups.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
While assigning a user/group, choose an appropriate value for the dataHubRoles/dataHubGroupRoles attribute. | ||
Note that when a role is selected for a group, the corresponding role is pushed for all users of that group in DataHub. | ||
|
||
### The provisioning setup is now complete | ||
Once the above steps are completed, user assignments/unassignments to the DataHub-SCIM-SWA app in Okta will get reflected in DataHub automatically. | ||
|
||
> #### A note on user deletion | ||
>Note that when users are unassigned or deactivated in Okta, the corresponding users in DataHub are also deactivated (marked "suspended"). | ||
But when a user is *deleted* in Okta, the corresponding user in DataHub does *not* get deleted. | ||
Refer the Okta documentation on [Delete (Deprovision)](https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/scim/#delete-deprovision) for more details. | ||
|
||
### 5. (Optional): Configure push groups | ||
When groups are assigned to the app, Okta pushes the group-members as users to DataHub, but the group itself isn't pushed. | ||
To push group information to DataHub, configure the `Push Groups` tab accordingly as shown below: | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/scim/okta/pushGroups.png"/> | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
Refer to the Okta [Group Push](https://help.okta.com/en-us/content/topics/users-groups-profiles/app-assignments-group-push.htm) documentation for more details. |
