## TL;DR
Provisioning Salesforce through Okta means assigning the Salesforce app in Okta, mapping groups to profiles and license types, and reconciling license counts. Do it group-based so access follows team membership automatically.

## The query
```text
how to provision salesforce licenses through okta
```

## Use this when
- new sales hire needs Salesforce on day one
- reclaiming unused Salesforce licenses
- auditing who has Salesforce access

## Not for
- Salesforce permission set design (Salesforce admin work)
- Okta SSO to Salesforce login issues (different troubleshooting)
- manual per-user license juggling at scale

## Steps
1. In Okta, confirm the Salesforce app integration with provisioning enabled. Expected output: provisioning active on the app
2. Map Okta groups to Salesforce profiles and license types. Expected output: group-to-license mapping defined
3. Add the user to the right Okta group. Expected output: user in the provisioning group
4. Verify the Salesforce account is created with the correct license. Expected output: account exists with the right license
5. Reconcile monthly: compare Okta assignments against Salesforce license usage. Expected output: no shelfware licenses
6. On offboarding, remove the group membership and confirm deprovisioning. Expected output: license reclaimed
