# Map Okta Groups to Cortex XSOAR Roles

It is important that when you specify the Okta group in Cortex XSOAR to map to a role, that you use the exact group name as it appears in Okta. Alternatively, you can specify .\*, which will pass all Okta groups to the relevant Cortex XSOAR roles (this is not recommended).

1. Go to Settings → Users and Roles → **Roles**.
2. Create or edit an existing role, as described in [Define a Role](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/onboard-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/roles-in-cortex-xsoar/define-a-role.md).
3. In the **SAML Roles Mapping** field, specify one or more SAML groups to map to the Cortex XSOAR role.

Example

In the following example, you want to add the group, called “Everyone”, which has been defined in the **Group Attributes Statement** field in Okta:

In Cortex XSOAR, in the **SAML Roles Mapping** field, add the following:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/onboard-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/authenticate-users-with-saml-2.0/set-up-okta-as-the-identity-provider-using-saml-2.0/map-okta-groups-to-cortex-xsoar-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
