What is the main purpose of the Super admin role?

The Super admin role primarily exists to oversee permissions and user management within an organization’s Okta environment. This role is essential because it has the highest level of access and control, allowing admins to effectively manage user accounts, roles, and permissions.

By holding this position, a Super admin can add or remove users, assign specific roles to users, and ensure that the appropriate access levels are granted. This is crucial for maintaining security and operational efficiency, as the Super admin ensures that users have the access they need to perform their duties without compromising the integrity of the overall system.

While managing report access, operating self-service functionalities, and auditing system logs are important tasks within Okta, they do not encapsulate the comprehensive responsibilities of user management and permissions that define the Super admin role. These tasks may fall under the purview of different administrative roles or responsibilities but are secondary to the overarching duty of a Super admin to manage user access and permissions effectively.
