Overview

You can create a dynamic or static allow list when you need to set group allow lists on a per-app basis using both the Org Authorization Server and a Custom Authorization Server. If you have a large number of Groups but only 20 Groups apply to your app, you don't want to run through all of your Groups every time a Groups claim is created. This process optionally uses Okta's flexible app profile, which accepts any JSON-compliant content, to create an allow list of Groups that can then easily be referenced.

Additionally, you can add a Groups claim to ID tokens for any combination of App Groups and User Groups to perform single sign-on (SSO) using the Okta Org Authorization Server. You can also add a Groups claim to ID tokens and access tokens to perform authentication and authorization using a Custom Authorization Server.

This guide assumes that you:

• Have an Okta Developer Edition organization. Create an org for free.
• Have an OpenID Connect client application in Okta with at least one user assigned to it.
• Have a group in Okta with at least one person assigned to it.
