How to update a profile property for all Okta users using Okta Workflows?

This guide will teach you how to update a profile property for all Okta users using Okta Workflows.

Update all Okta users

There are two flows:

  1. List users: finds all users to update.
  2. Update user profile – helper: updates a user profile property for each user.

List users flow

The List users flow finds all users to update:

List users flow.
List users flow.

How the flow works

  1. The Okta-List Users with Search lists (finds) all the users to update. The card uses the streaming option to send the users to a helper flow.

Update user profile – helper flow

The helper flow updates a user’s profile attribute.

Update user profile flow.
Update user profile flow.

How the flow works

  1. Since the Helper Flow uses the streaming option, it has two fields: Record and State. The Record field holds the current user and defines the ID field which is the user ID.
  2. The Okta-Update User card updates a user’s property. This flow updates the Preferred language user profile property. Review the card’s documentation to learn about update options.
