What is the purpose of the Okta Administrator Dashboard?

The purpose of the Okta Administrator Dashboard is to provide a summary of key Okta and application usage. This dashboard serves as a centralized hub for administrators, allowing them to monitor various metrics related to user activity, application performance, and security configurations.

Through the dashboard, administrators can gain insights into how users are interacting with applications, which can inform decisions on user provisioning, application assignment, and security policies. The analytics available can help identify trends in usage and potential areas for optimization, making it a critical tool for effective management and oversight within the Okta ecosystem.

While managing user accounts is indeed a function of the overall admin features, it is not the sole focus of the dashboard. Similarly, controlling network settings and generating compliance reports may be aspects of Okta's administrative tools, but they fall outside the primary purpose of the dashboard itself, which is to deliver an overview of operational metrics rather than detailed control or reporting capabilities.
