Does Group Push allow users to synchronize group updates made in applications to the corresponding group in Okta?

Group Push does not allow users to synchronize group updates made in applications to the corresponding group in Okta. This means that changes made to groups within certain applications do not automatically reflect in Okta, which can lead to discrepancies between the application and the Okta environment. Group Push is primarily a feature that facilitates the opposite direction—pushing group memberships from Okta to the applications, not the synchronization of updates from applications back to Okta.

Understanding the capabilities of Group Push is vital for maintaining a consistent and accurate identity management system. Organizations rely on these features for effective user management, ensuring that the right individuals have access to the right resources. It's important to recognize that while Group Push is an essential tool for pushing group memberships to federated applications, it does not support the reverse process of synchronizing changes from applications back to Okta.
