Summary

You and anyone approving requests should read more about approving and declining requests.

Questions

Why can't I see my Groups in Indent?

You might need to sync Okta Groups or Google Workspaces with Indent. Try visiting the Resources section in your Indent dashboard, and clicking Pull Updates.

Can Indent manage the integration for me?

Sure! We can host the integration on an single-tenant AWS account. That's a popular way to do an initial setup while your teams test out Indent. To start that process, contact Indent Support
