SSO App Assignment

Assign a SaaS application directly to a user in Okta from Slack or Teams, approval-gated, idempotent, and audited.

Okta

The problem

Application access requests are constant in any growing company: a new project needs a design tool, a sales hire needs the CRM. Okta groups are the right mechanism for at-scale app gating, but the genuine one-off (one person, one app, right now) still means a trip to the admin console.

What AscendCore does

A requester names the user and the app in Slack or Teams. AscendCore resolves the user in Okta and proposes the assignment to an approver. On approval the application is re-resolved by exact label at execution time, so a rename between request and approval fails loudly instead of assigning the wrong app. An already-assigned user is an idempotent no-op. The decision and the resolved app are written to the audit chain.

Status

Live in production. Assigns real Okta applications today, end-to-end from Slack and Teams, with execute-time label resolution, idempotency protection, and a full audit trail.

Runbook source preview

Versioned, deterministic, auditable

Every runbook is defined as a versioned YAML manifest with explicit triggers, steps, and approval policies. The runbook itself is the audit-ready record of what AscendCore can and will do. Chat is just the interface that triggers it.

Access Role Change

Multi-system orchestrated role transitions for promotions, transfers, and contractor-to-FTE conversions. Five seed roles ship out of the box (support tiers, sales SDR/AE, engineering contractor/FTE/intern, HR generalist/manager); each transition produces a single approval card showing the full access diff and executes sequentially across Okta + Entra + Jira + M365 with per-step audit outcomes.
