How it Works

Group mappings are based on the name of the group in Okta, which is mapped to a group in NetBox Cloud, and that group could have permissions assigned to it. For example, this group called CircuitManager in NetBox Cloud has permissions assigned to it that allows members of the group to manage all of the Circuit and Provider object types:

NetBox Group

NetBox Permissions

Optionally, members of the Okta groups can also be members of the NetBox built-in groups Staff which allows access to the NetBox admin interface, and Superuser which has all permissions without explicitly assigning them.

The NetBox Labs support team will map your Okta group names to your NetBox Cloud groups, for example:

Okta Group Name NetBox Cloud Group Staff Super User
NetBox-Circuit-Mgrs Circuit Manager Yes No

How Do I Get it Set Up?

Simply provide us with your requirements in terms of Okta group names and NetBox groups and we will take care of the rest.
