How can a user be bulk activated in Okta?

The process of bulk activating users in Okta is streamlined to ensure efficiency when dealing with multiple accounts simultaneously. By navigating to the Directory section and selecting People, users can view those who are Pending Activation. This interface provides an accessible method to manage user statuses collectively.

Once the Pending Activation section is accessed, the option to click on Bulk Activate becomes available. This allows administrators to activate multiple users at once, significantly saving time compared to activating each user individually. Bulk activation is particularly useful in organizations that onboard new employees or users in large groups, ensuring that they can access necessary resources promptly.

This approach contrasts with other methods that focus on either individual action or merely sending notifications, which do not lead to activation but rather may just inform users of their pending status or actions needed on their part. The bulk activation option ensures that the administrator maintains control over the process and can take decisive action on multiple accounts effectively.
