@stevewood I use Okta LDAP to scope policies in my Jamf environment. It will not scope to the AD groups the Okta accounts sync up. What I had to do is set up Okta groups that build based on AD group membership because Jamf can see those. Once I did that it worked like a charm.


Hi @gragnarok , I'm trying to figure out how to scope policies based on Okta groups and noticed your comment. How were you able to achieve this? Was it via an Extension attribute or did you use "limitations" in the policy scope? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hey @mardini, we utilized "limitations" in the policy scope with the LDAP groups. I will say we have since moved away from using the LDAP groups to another method. We do a lot of our scoping via "Department" which is also fed off of the LDAP integration and we have a series of smart groups that populate based on the value of that field. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!
