I would use group rules and role mappings to assign least-privilege access, include approval paths for sensitive entitlements, and test termination flows to ensure prompt session revocation and account removal. What steps would you take to troubleshoot a failed SAML single sign-on integration? I would compare the service provider and identity provider configuration, including entity IDs, ACS URLs, signing certificates, name ID format, and required attribute mappings. I would inspect Okta system logs and SAML assertions, verify time synchronization and certificate validity, then test with a controlled account before documenting the correction and monitoring for recurrence. How do you apply least privilege through RBAC in an IAM program? I begin by mapping job functions to business-required access and defining reusable roles rather than granting direct entitlements. I implement role ownership, approval workflows, periodic access reviews, and separation-of-duties controls for privileged functions. I also monitor exceptions and use audit findings to refine the role model over time. Describe how you would secure API integrations and automation used in IAM workflows. I would use dedicated service identities with narrowly scoped permissions, secure secret storage, credential rotation, logging, and strong authentication controls. Automation should validate inputs, include error handling and approval safeguards for high-impact changes, and generate auditable records of provisioning actions. How would you prepare IAM evidence for a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit? I would maintain evidence of access-control policies, RBAC definitions, onboarding and offboarding procedures, privileged-access approvals, MFA enforcement, access-review results, and relevant Okta logs. I would coordinate with control owners to ensure evidence is current, traceable to the stated controls, and demonstrates timely remediation of any exceptions. Opportunity details ## About this role.
