Confluence Using SCIM User And Group Provisioning For Okta
User Sync & Group Sync app provisions user and group information from Okta to Confluence. Users, groups and directory
details can by provisioned using SCIM. SCIM provisioning works based on events performed on IDP.

attribute
corresponds to the username/userPrincipalName attribute, email corresponds to the email/mail attribute, and
displayName corresponds to the full name attribute. However, if you want to map these Confluence
attributes with other
attributes coming from IDP, you can use this feature to change the attribute mapping configurations.
User sync also supports mapping of custom attributes. Here, you can create custom
attributes
