Short and handy Okta Workflows tips and tricks. Read the full series.

With RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), connections aren’t automatically available in a top-level folder. You need to explicitly add them before the flows in that folder can use them.

Add a connection to a folder with RBAC

When you first open a folder with RBAC, the Connections tab is empty:

With RBAC for folders, connections must be explicitly added to a folder so flows in that folder can use them. Here is how to do it:

1. Open the folder, go to the Connections tab, and click Add Existing.
2. Select a connection from the list and click Save. It will now be available to all flows in that folder. You can also create a new connection from here.

Flows inside the Project 001 folder can use the Okta connection.

Any subfolders within the Project 001 folder will automatically inherit connections from it. Note that Subfolder 002 doesn’t have the option to set a connection since it inherits it from its top-level folder.
