You can import your Okta apps into Opal using group assignment or manually in the Opal dashboard.

​
Auto-import via group assignment

In most cases, organizations should import applications via Okta groups, since it is the easiest way to import existing group and application relationships.
Opal automatically imports Okta Apps that are assigned to Okta Groups. If an Okta Group is imported into Opal and there are Okta Apps assigned to the group, Opal automatically imports these apps.

​
Manual import

In the Opal dashboard, you can manually select which Okta Apps to import into Opal. To do this, in Inventory, find your Okta App and click … > Import items. 2312 From here, you can filter by type Okta App, and select any apps that you want to import into Opal. 2312
