# Okta setup

This article explains how to set up Okta as an identity provider for Bobsled. Doing so will allow your organization to grant users access to Bobsled through their existing Okta accounts.

---

## Prerequisites

- You will need to be an **Okta administrator** (to set up a new application) and a **Bobsled admin** (to read configuration values). Once Okta has been setup, Bobsled support can perform the final setup to switch on the integration.

---

## Setup guide

1. Once logged into Bobsled, select **Environment** in the left sidebar, and scroll down to **Authentication**. The `Service provider Entity ID` and `Application callback URL` will be used in the Okta application setup.
