Export users from Okta using rockstar

  1. Download the rockstar extension from Chrome Web Store.
  2. Sign in to Okta as an admin.
  3. Go to Directory, then click People. A hovering menu named rockstar will appear.
  4. Expand the menu, then click Export Users.
  5. Choose the fields that you must import by referring to the Zoho Directory CSV file template. To get the template:
    1. Sign in to Zoho Directory .
    2. Go to Users. Click  in the top-right corner.
    3. Click Import.
    4. Click Download Sample File. A CSV file containing the sample data will be downloaded.
      The mandatory field is primary/secondary email address. You can also choose other optional fields or input queries to get specific data. Some of the supported optional fields are:
    1. Mobile number
    2. User status
    3. Employee ID/number
    4. City, State, ZIP code, Country code
