How do you update a profile attribute for all users in an Okta group using Okta Workflows?

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

Update all users in an Okta group

There are two flows:

  1. List group users: list all users from a group.
  2. Update user profile-helper: updates a user profile property for each user.

List group users

The List group users flow lists all users from a group to update.

List group members - flow.
List group members – flow.

How the flow works

  1. The Okta-List Group Members card lists (finds) users from a group 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.

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 properties. This flow updates the Preferred language user profile property. This flow sets the language to Korean. Review the card’s documentation to learn about update options.
