_SvIncludePlusContent-Okta Configuration for User Sync

Configuration in the Okta Web Console

Login to your Okta organisation as a user with administrator privileges
Any type of administrator role is fine. If you limit this administrator role to manage only specific groups,
only users in those groups are synced. API tokens have the same permissions as the user who creates them,
and if the user permissions change, the API token permissions will also change.
