Type in your Workplace ID, and click the **Login** button. You will be redirected to Okta’s login page. Enter your new user credentials to log in via that user.

**Create Users**, **Update User Attributes**, and **Deactivate Users**, and save the settings.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202023-06-21%20at%2012.14.12.png)

6. You should create User groups to map roles between Okta and Inone Panel. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202023-06-21%20at%2012.26.15.png)

Please create groups as described below.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Insider Manage Users | Administrator role for Insider One |
| Insider Edit And Publish | Editor role for Insider One |
| Insider Collaborate | Collaborator role for Insider One |
| Insider View Only | Viewer role for Insider One |
| Insider Change Campaign Status Only | Campaign Status Updater role for Insider One |
| Insider Outsource | Outsourcer role for Insider One |

You can put users in these groups to sync roles between Okta and Inone.

  
If you don’t set a user role for a user or a group, they will be assigned the **View Only** role by default.

7. Finally, add these groups to the Insider application and start syncing. To assign the new groups to our **Application**, open the **Assignments** tab in the application page, click the **Assign** and the **Assign to Groups** button, and select all groups created before.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202023-06-21%20at%2012.33.45.png)
