Can a profile mapping from Workday to Okta be set up by an Okta Admin?

In the context of profile mapping from Workday to Okta, it is important to recognize that setting up this mapping typically requires specific configurations that are often managed outside the direct capabilities of an Okta Administrator. While Okta provides robust integrations with various applications, including Workday, the actual mapping of profiles is generally handled through a pre-configured system within the Workday application itself.

This means that the Okta Admin does not have the authority or tools necessary to directly manipulate or set up the profile mapping within Workday and needs to rely on configurations set forth in Workday. Therefore, stating that it cannot be configured by an Okta Admin accurately reflects the restrictions placed on them regarding this specific integration process.

Understanding these constraints emphasizes the need for collaboration with the HR or IT teams managing Workday when implementing such integrations, ensuring that profile data is correctly synchronized based on the predefined settings within Workday.
