Configure Custom Applications with Entitlement Management

Managing custom application entitlements manually is complex, resulting in security vulnerabilities and an administrative burden. This guide outlines the steps to configure Okta Identity Governance (OIG) Entitlement Management for a Custom Application. By enforcing policy-driven access, administrators ensure that users receive the exact permissions required (least privilege), streamline auditing efforts, and reduce administrative overhead.

This resource is designed for Okta Administrators and Identity Engineers responsible for configuring provisioning-enabled applications (typically via SCIM) and applying centralized entitlement governance across their identity landscape. To begin, ensure that Entitlement Management is enabled in Okta and that you have administrator access to the target custom application.
