Network Zones

The Okta Network Zones API provides operations to manage Zones in your organization. There are two usage Zone types: Policy Network Zones and Blocklist Network Zones. Policy Network Zones are used to guide policy decisions. Blocklist Network Zones are used to deny access from certain IP addresses, locations, proxy types, or Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) before policy evaluation.

A default system Policy Network Zone is provided in your Okta org. You can use the Network Zones API to modify the default Policy Network Zone or to create a custom Policy or Blocklist Network Zone. When you create your custom Zone, you can specify if the Zone is an IP Zone or a Dynamic Zone. An IP Zone allows you to define network perimeters around a set of IPs, whereas a Dynamic Zone allows you to define network perimeters around location, IP type, and ASNs.

Note: To create multiple network zones, including Dynamic Zones, you must enable Adaptive MFA.

List all Network Zones
OAuth 2.0: okta.networkZones.read

Lists all network zones with pagination. A subset of zones can be returned that match a supported filter expression or query.

This operation requires URL encoding. For example, filter=(id eq "nzoul0wf9jyb8xwZm0g3" or id eq "nzoul1MxmGN18NDQT0g3") is encoded as filter=%28id+eq+%22nzoul0wf9jyb8xwZm0g3%22+or+id+eq+%22nzoul1MxmGN18NDQT0g3%22%29.

Okta supports filtering on the id and usage properties. See Filtering for more information on the expressions that are used in filtering.
