What can a Super Admin do in Okta?

A Super Admin in Okta has the highest level of administrative access and control within an organization’s Okta environment. This role is designed to give comprehensive authority to manage the entire Okta instance effectively. This includes performing all administrative tasks, such as managing users, applications, security settings, integrations, and overall account configuration.

In contrast, other roles may have restricted access that limits the scope of their responsibilities; for example, a Help Desk Administrator could reset passwords or unlock user accounts but not perform tasks like changing security settings or managing app assignments across the organization. Therefore, the Super Admin's ability to perform all administrative tasks encompasses a wide range of functions necessary for comprehensive management of Okta environments. This centralized capability is crucial for maintaining control, enforcing policies, and ensuring effective user and system management.
