Office hours questions and answers

Is there an automated way to assign RBAC permissions in Workflows?

Workflows doesn’t have an option today to automate RBAC permissions. You can assign permissions from the Workflows dashboard.

How do I iterate over a list and create a string from the list values?

Use the List – Reduce card to iterate over a list and return a single value.

• How to Reduce a List to a Single Value (Using the Okta Workflows Reduce Card).
• How to Reduce a List to a Single Value, 3 Examples Using List-Reduce Workflows Card.
• Learn the Differences Between Three Workflows List Functions: For Each, Map, and Reduce.
• Working with Lists in Okta Workflows (using For Each, Streaming, Map, and Reduce cards).

We also have the Working with lists collection, which includes many additional resources to help you learn to process lists.

We want to process a group update for a specific group only. How do we call a flow for that update only and not for all other group updates?

We recommend setting up an event hook with a filter to process such an event. The following blog post demonstrates how to do it:

• Processing Okta Event Hooks with Workflows.

Note that event hook filtering is in EA.

If you don’t want to set up an event hook, you can add logic inside the flow to stop flow execution unless the update happened in the desired group.
