What is App User profile in Okta?

The App User profile in Okta is designed to hold attributes that are specific to third-party applications. When integrating with various applications, it is often necessary to utilize specific user information that each application requires for proper functioning. This may include attributes such as roles, preferences, or permissions that are relevant to that particular application.

These profiles allow for a smooth and personalized user experience, enabling the applications to recognize and utilize the data needed for each user. This facilitates automated processes like provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts, ensuring that the right attributes are present for app functionality and access control.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the purpose of the App User profile: social media attributes are generally not specific to applications; user login credentials should not be backed up in a profile for security reasons; and system administration attributes, while important, do not specifically pertain to application user profiles. Thus, the focus is entirely on ensuring that users are matched with the attributes that correspond to the applications they interact with.
