Summary

Tailscale has introduced a new feature that allows organizations to sync Okta groups for use in their Access Control Lists (ACLs), easing the process of managing user access in response to changes like onboarding, offboarding, or team shifts. By leveraging the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM), Tailscale can automate the synchronization of group membership and deactivated user accounts from Okta, enabling admins to maintain up-to-date access permissions across their network without manual intervention. This integration allows administrators to use existing group definitions from their identity provider for more streamlined and scalable management of access permissions within Tailscale. The feature, now available in beta, supports Tailscale's Business plan, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of managing network security and access controls for organizations using Okta as their identity provider.
