Sela integrates with Okta for single sign-on (SSO) and automated user provisioning (SCIM). The integration is published in the Okta Integration Network (OIN) and uses Okta’s Express Configuration, so an Okta administrator can connect their organization to Sela in a few clicks — no manual exchange of metadata, client IDs, or secrets.
Express Configuration handles SSO (OpenID Connect), Universal Logout, and SCIM provisioning. Your administrator signs in once with their Sela account and consents; Sela configures the connection automatically.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Sela organization with admin access. If you don’t have one yet, contact support@trysela.com.
  • An Okta administrator account with the Super Administrator role (or the Application and Organization administrator roles).
  • The user who performs Express Configuration must be a member of your Sela organization and authorized to configure SSO. Sela provisions this access during onboarding.

​
Configure SSO

1

Add Sela from the Okta Integration Network

In the Okta Admin Console, go to Applications → Applications → Browse App Catalog, search for Sela, and add the integration to your org.
2

Start Express Configuration

Open the Sela app and go to the Sign On tab. Under Settings, select Express Configure SSO & UL. You’ll be redirected to Sela’s sign-in page.
3

Sign in and consent

Sign in with your Sela organization administrator account and approve the data-sharing consent prompt. Sela uses this to automatically create and configure the Okta connection for your organization.
4

Confirmation

Once consent completes, SSO (and Universal Logout) are configured automatically. You can return to the Okta Admin Console and assign users.

​
Configure SCIM provisioning (optional)

SCIM lets Okta automatically create, update, and deactivate Sela users as you manage them in Okta.
1

Open Provisioning

In the Sela app in Okta, go to the Provisioning tab.
2

Express Configure SCIM

Select Express Configure SCIM and continue through the Sela consent prompt. SCIM provisioning is configured automatically — no base URL or API token to copy.
3

Enable the features you need

Under To App, enable the provisioning features your team needs, such as Create Users, Update User Attributes, and Deactivate Users.

​
Assign users

After SSO is configured, assign the people who should have access:
1

Open Assignments

In the Sela app in Okta, go to the Assignments tab.
2

Assign people or groups

Select Assign → Assign to People (or Assign to Groups) and choose the users who should be able to sign in to Sela. If SCIM is enabled, assigned users are provisioned to Sela automatically.

​
Signing in

Once a user is assigned, they can sign in to Sela in two ways:
  • From Okta: click the Sela tile on their Okta End-User Dashboard.
  • From Sela: go to the Sela app and choose to sign in with Okta; they’ll be routed to your Okta org to authenticate.
New users who sign in through your Okta connection are automatically added to your Sela organization. Their access within Sela is governed by your organization’s settings.

​
Troubleshooting

The user isn’t assigned to the Sela app in Okta. In the Okta Admin Console, open the Sela app → Assignments, and assign the user (or a group they belong to).
Make sure you sign in with a Sela organization administrator account that is authorized to configure SSO. If the problem persists, contact support@trysela.com.
The account signed in successfully but hasn’t been granted access within Sela. Ask your Sela administrator to grant the appropriate access for your organization.
