_SvIncludePlusContent-Okta Configuration for User Sync

Log in to your Okta organization as a user with administrator privileges
Any type of administrator role is fine. If you limit this administrator role to manage only specific groups,
only users in those groups are synced. API tokens have the same permissions as the user who creates them,
and if the user permissions change, the API token permissions will also change.
