# Okta Setup

> [!CAUTION]
> **Before you begin**
> 
> These steps **must** be completed by your **Okta and GovDash** **admin**, as we will require the administrator to configure Okta sign in capabilities through the Okta Admin Console and GovDash Authentication Settings.

## Setup

1. Log into your Okta Admin Console.
2. Navigate to **Applications** → **Create App Integration**.

4. Set **Application Type** to **Web Application**. Click **Next**.
5. Configure the new Application
  - Ensure **Authorization Code** is checked in Core grants.
  - Sign-in redirect URIs:

    - [https://dashboard-transition.govdash.us/auth/okta/callback](https://dashboard-transition.govdash.us/auth/okta/callback)
  - Under **Assignments**, choose whether you want all of your users to be able to access GovDash or only specific users or groups. GovDash still requires users to be invited to your GovDash team, but you can also limit access to certain users or groups through your IdP.
6. Configure other settings as needed, then click **Save**. Ensure you record your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, as these are needed for the GovDash setup step.
7. Navigate to GovDash Authentication settings: [https://dashboard.govdash.us/settings/authentication](https://dashboard.govdash.us/settings/authentication)
8. Enter your **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and **Okta Domain** in the fields under **Okta Tenant Information**.

## Signing in with Okta

After completing setup, users can navigate to the GovDash login page. After entering their email from the login page, they can click **Sign in with Okta** to sign in using the configured settings.
