For Provisioning Mode select Automatic Option

Enter the following for Admin Credentials

Tenant URL: https://stackoverflowteams.com/c/[your_site]/auth/scim/v2
Secret Token: Generated Token on Stack Overflow see instructions below.

In Stack Overflow Business, enable SCIM and generate a SCIM authorization token for your application at /c/[your_site]/admin/access/scim. Please note that this token will only be visible when you generate it. If it is lost, you will need to generate a new one and reconfigure your Okta application.

Then click Test Connection green checkmark will appear in Tenant URL on successful connection.

  • active true/false. Determines whether or not the user should be deactivated or reactivated in Stack Overflow Business
