# Map Okta Groups to Cortex XSOAR Roles

Map Okta groups to Cortex XSOAR 6.15 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/6.15/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:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.15/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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
