Schemas API
The Okta Schemas API provides operations to manage custom User profiles as well as endpoints to discover the structure of the Log Stream configuration.
Okta's Universal Directory (opens new window) allows administrators to define custom User profiles for Okta Users and Applications. Okta adopts a subset of JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) as the schema language to describe and validate extensible User profiles. For Log Stream Schemas, Okta uses JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 (opens new window). JSON Schema (opens new window) is a lightweight declarative format for describing the structure, constraints, and validation of JSON documents.
Note: Okta implements only a subset of JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) and JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 (opens new window). This document describes which parts apply to Okta, and any extensions Okta has made to JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) and JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 (opens new window).

User Schema operations
Each of the operations described here affects the Schema associated with a single User Type. The ${typeId} element in the URL specifies which type. It can be the literal default to operate on the Schema of the default User Type, which is created when the org is initialized, or it can be a schema ID.
Each User Type has an associated Schema. In the future, the link between Schema and User Type may be extended (for example, to allow multiple Types to share a Schema) but for now this is a 1:1 relationship. You can obtain the schema ID for the Schema associated with a User Type object from its schema link. The schema link is also included in individual User objects.
The request examples below all use the default form, as all orgs include a default User Type.
Get User Schema

Schema properties
The User Schema is a valid JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) document with the following properties:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | URI of User Schema | String | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE | |
| $schema | JSON Schema version identifier | String | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE | |

| type | type of root Schema (opens new window) | String | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE | |
| properties | User object properties | User object property set | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE |
User Profile subschemas
The Profile object for a User is defined by a composite Schema of base and custom properties using a JSON path to reference subschemas. The #base properties are defined and versioned by Okta, while #custom properties are extensible.
Custom property names for the Profile object must be unique and can't conflict with a property name defined in the #base subschema.

User Profile base subschema
All Okta-defined Profile properties are defined in a Profile subschema with the resolution scope #base. You can't modify these properties, except to update permissions, to change the nullability of firstName and lastName, or to specify a pattern for login. They can't be removed.
The base User Profile is based on the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema (opens new window) and has the following standard properties:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly | MinLength | MaxLength | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| login | unique identifier for the User (username) | String | FALSE | TRUE | FALSE | 5 | 100 | pattern |

| secondEmail | secondary email address of the User typically used for account recovery | String | TRUE | TRUE | FALSE | 5 | 100 | RFC 5322 Section 3.2.3 (opens new window) |
| firstName | given name of the User (givenName) | String | FALSE (default) | FALSE | FALSE | 1 | 50 | |
| lastName | family name of the User (familyName) | String | FALSE (default) | FALSE | FALSE | 1 | 50 | |

Note: A locale value is a concatenation of the ISO 639-1 two letter language code, an underscore, and the ISO 3166-1 two letter country code. For example: 'en_US' specifies the language English and country US.
Note: The
userTypefield is an arbitrary string value and isn't related to the newer User Types feature.
Login pattern validation
The login property is validated according to its pattern attribute, which is a string. By default, the attribute is null. When the attribute is null, the username is required to be formatted as an email address as defined by RFC 6531 Section 3.3 (opens new window). The pattern can be set through the API to one of the following forms. (The Admin Console provides access to the same forms.)
A login pattern of
".+"indicates that there is no restriction on usernames. Any non-empty, unique value is permitted, and the minimum length of five isn't enforced. In this case, usernames don't need to include the@character. If a name does include@, the portion ahead of the@can be used for logging in, provided it identifies a unique User within the org.A login pattern of the form
"[...]+"indicates that usernames must only contain characters from the set given between the brackets. The enclosing brackets and final+are required for this form. Character ranges can be indicated using hyphens. To include the hyphen itself in the allowed set, the hyphen must appear first. Any characters in the set except the hyphen, a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 must be preceded by a backslash (\). For example,"[a-z13579\.]+"would restrict usernames to lowercase letters, odd digits, and periods, while"[-a-zA-Z0-9]+"would allow basic alphanumeric characters and hyphens.
User Profile custom subschema
All custom Profile properties are defined in a Profile subschema with the resolution scope #custom.

User Profile Schema properties have the following standard JSON Schema Draft 6 (opens new window) properties:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| title | User-defined display name for the property | String | FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
| description | description of the property | String | TRUE | FALSE | FALSE |
| type | type of property | string, boolean, number, integer, array | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
| enum | enumerated value of the property | array | TRUE | TRUE | FALSE |
| oneOf | non-empty array of valid JSON schemas | array | TRUE | TRUE | FALSE |
Description details
enum: The value of the property is limited to one of the values specified in theenumdefinition. The list of values for theenummust be made up of unique elements.oneOf: Okta only supportsoneOffor specifying display names for anenum. Each schema has the following format:
{
"const": "enumValue",
"title": "display name"
}
In case enum is used in conjunction with oneOf, the set of enumerated values and their order must be kept.
{"enum": ["S","M","L","XL"],
"oneOf": [
{"const": "S", "title": "Small"},
{"const": "M", "title": "Medium"},
{"const": "L", "title": "Large"},
{"const": "XL", "title": "Extra Large"}
]
}
oneOf is only supported in conjunction with enum, providing a mechanism to return a display name for the enum value.
Okta has also extended JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) with the following keywords:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| required | Determines whether the property is required | Boolean | FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
| unique | Determines whether property values must be unique | Boolean | FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
| permissions | Access control permissions for the property | Array of Schema property permission | FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
Note: A read-only JSON Schema Draft 4 (opens new window) compliant
requiredproperty is also available on the User Profile Subschemas.

App User Profile subschemas
The Profile object for a User is defined by a composite schema of base and custom properties using a JSON path to reference subschemas. The #base properties are defined and versioned by Okta while #custom properties are extensible.
Custom property names for the Profile object must be unique and can't conflict with a property name defined in the #base subschema.

App User Profile base subschema
All Okta-defined Profile properties are defined in a Profile subschema with the resolution scope #base. These properties can't be removed or edited, except for nullability in some cases. Changing a base property's nullability, for example, the value of its required field, is allowed only if it is nullable in the default predefined Schema for the App.
The base App User Profile varies substantially depending on the application. The following properties are required for all App User Profiles:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly | MinLength | MaxLength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| userName | unique identifier for the User | String | FALSE | TRUE | FALSE | 100 |
App User Profile custom subschema
All custom Profile properties are defined in a Profile subschema with the resolution scope #custom.

Group Schema property types and validation
Specific property types support a subset of JSON Schema validations (opens new window).
| Property Type | Description | Validation Keywords |
|---|---|---|
string | JSON String (opens new window) | minLength and maxLength |
boolean | false, true, or null | |
number | JSON Number (opens new window) with double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point number constraint | minimum and maximum |
integer | JSON Number (opens new window) with 32-bit signed two's complement integer constraint | minimum and maximum |
array | JSON Array (opens new window) |
Unique attributes
You can enforce uniqueness for custom properties in Okta user profiles or the Okta group profile, such as an employee identification number. You can declare a maximum of five unique properties for each user type and five unique properties in the Okta group profile. Different user types can have the same or different unique properties (up to the limit of five per type).
Unique properties in Okta user profiles share a single namespace across all user types in an org. If user types A and B both contain the property ice cream and you identify it as unique in both profiles, then if a user of type A has the value chocolate, no other users of type A or B (or any other user type that declares ice cream as unique) can have that value.
Properties that aren't unique also aren't tracked for uniqueness. Suppose the property candy is unique in type E and not unique in type F. If a user of type E has the value caramel for the candy property, no other users of type E can also have the value caramel, but any number of users of type F can already have or later be assigned the value caramel. Furthermore, because candy is not unique in type F, any values users of type F may have are not considered when enforcing uniqueness for users of type E. No matter how many users of type F already have the value cotton, it may be assigned to a user of type E as long as no other such user already has that value.
If you attempt to create or update a user with a duplicate value for a custom user property with a uniqueness restriction, the user creation or update operation fails. The user isn't created or updated until you enter a unique value. Similarly, creating or updating a group fails when the request contains a value for a unique custom group property that is duplicated by another group.
null values don't enter into the uniqueness calculation. If the unique property isn't also specified as being required, you can also omit the value entirely. Multiple users or groups can omit the property and not violate uniqueness.
To enforce uniqueness for custom properties, you can either add new unique custom properties or update existing custom properties to be unique.
Add new unique custom property
You can use the add property to user profile schema request or the add property to group profile schema request to add one or more unique custom user or group properties. Specify "unique": true on the properties to be marked as unique. The response shows the properties with "unique": "UNIQUE_VALIDATED" and uniqueness is then enforced on those properties.

Update existing custom property to be unique
You can use the update user profile schema property request or the update group profile schema property request to mark existing custom user or group properties as unique by specifying "unique": true on the properties to be marked as unique.
After the request to mark existing custom properties as unique is submitted, an asynchronous validation check is performed to make sure that there are no existing duplicate entries. If you have a significant number of users or groups, the validation can take some time.
A uniqueness status of "unique": "PENDING_UNIQUENESS" indicates that the validation check is still in progress. Use the Universal Directory page in the Admin Console (Directory > Directory Integrations) to track the status of the validation check. After the validation completes, if you submit a get user schema request or a get group schema request, the property's uniqueness status changes to UNIQUE_VALIDATED if no duplicate records are found, and uniqueness is then enforced on that property. Otherwise, if duplicate records are found, the unique attribute of the schema property isn't shown in the get schema request and uniqueness isn't enforced on the schema property.

Update existing unique custom property to be non-unique
You can use the update user profile schema property request or the update group profile schema property request to change existing unique custom user or group properties to be non-unique by specifying "unique": false on the properties to be changed to non-unique. The response shows the properties without the unique attribute and the uniqueness constraint is then removed on those properties.
Note that if multiple user types declare a property as unique and you remove the uniqueness constraint on one type, there may be a delay before users of other types that declare the property as unique can be assigned values formerly held by users of the first type.
Request example
For the following request example, assume that the default user profile schema contains the custom property twitterUserName that is unique.

-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Log Stream Schema object
Early AccessThe Log Stream Schema is defined using JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 (opens new window) with the following properties:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $id | URI of Log Stream Schema | String | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
| $schema | JSON Schema version identifier | String | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE |
| title | Name of the Log Streaming integration | String | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
| type | Type of Log Stream Schema property | String containing string, boolean, number, integer or object | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE |
| properties | Log Stream Schema properties object (see properties description) | Object | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
| required | Required properties for this Log Stream Schema object | Array of String | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
| oneOf | A non-empty array of valid JSON schemas (see oneOf description) | Array | TRUE | FALSE | TRUE |
| pattern | For string Log Stream Schema property type, specify the regular expression used to validate the property (see Log Stream Schema Property Types and validation). | String | TRUE | FALSE | TRUE |
In addition to those, Okta extends JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 (opens new window) with the following keywords:
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| writeOnce | Determines whether the property can be updated once it has been created | Boolean | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE |
| errorMessage | Error messages for properties of this Log Stream object | Error Message object | FALSE | TRUE | TRUE |
Log Stream Schema object description details

propertiescontainnameandsettings:name— specifies the Log Stream name within Oktasettings— lists properties required to configure Log Stream
propertiesobject within thesettingsdefines configuration properties for the particular Log Stream typeoneOf: Okta only supportsoneOffor specifying display names for anenum. Each schema has the following format:
{
"const": "enumValue",
"title": "display name"
}
errorMessage: Okta implements a subset of ajv-errors (opens new window), and the error object has the following property:
Error Message object
| Property | Description | DataType | Nullable | Unique | Readonly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| properties | Error messages for individual properties in the schema | Map of <String, String> | TRUE | FALSE | TRUE |
Within the properties map, the keys are the property names, while the values are the error messages if validation fails on these properties.
Log Stream Schema Property Types and validation
Specific property types support a subset of JSON Schema validations (opens new window).
