Configure Role mapping
Users coming through Okta, can take any of the four supported roles in Cloud Conformity:
- Admin: This role is the organisation administrator and has full access to everything in Cloud Conformity.
- Power user: This role has full access to all accounts but no organisation-level access, e.g. cannot manage users or add accounts.
- Read-only: Similar to power user but only with read-only access to all accounts.
- Custom: Custom users have no access by default and can be granted fine-grained permissions after their first sign-on, by an organisation administrator.
To setup mapping from Okta Groups to Cloud Conformity Roles:
- Add a group named CC_ADMIN (or use any group you prefer)
- Assign users you would like to have admin access to Cloud Conformity to
CC_ADMIN group
- Repeat this process for Power user, Read-only and Custom roles as you see fit.
- In Cloud Conformity application, add a Group Attribute Statement with:
Name: role
Filter: regex .*CC.*
If you have another group name for Cloud Conformity admins, make sure filter regex
matches the group name.

In Feedback step, check I'm an Okta customer adding an internal app and It's
required to contact vendor to enable SAML then finish setup.

In Sign On tab in the application that you have just created, click on
Identity Provider Metadata to download IdP metadata XML file. You will need
it to complete the setup later.
Once you have provided identity provider metadata, a member of our team will import it to
Cloud Conformity as a trusted identity provider and can begin verifying the integration.
Please contact your account manager and SSO@cloudconformity.com
for additional help.
