What happens when an application is being created in Okta?

When an application is being created in Okta, the option that states it can be hidden from end users until fully configured is accurate. This allows administrators to set up and fine-tune the application’s configurations, integrations, and access policies without exposing it to users prematurely.

In many cases, applications can have complex settings that require thorough testing and configuration before being deployed. This feature provides a safeguard to ensure that users do not encounter any issues or incomplete setups while the administrator is still working on the application. It enhances user experience and security by preventing access until the setup is confirmed to be fully operational and correctly configured.

The other aspects, such as immediate availability to all users, the necessity of review by an external regulator, or constraints on the creation during business hours, do not represent the standard operating procedures of Okta when setting up an application. Instead, administrators have the flexibility to manage visibility and access according to their organizational needs. This characteristic serves to streamline application deployment while maintaining control over user access.
