Fixing Okta Error When Assigning Zendesk App

Learn why you get an error when assigning a Zendesk app in Okta and how to fix it. Ensure correct credentials and avoid modifying the account owner.

Why do I get an error when assigning a Zendesk app in Okta?

If you're encountering an error while assigning a Zendesk app in Okta, it might be due to incorrect user credentials or attempting to modify the account owner's profile.

Ensure that the user's credentials in Okta are set for a Zendesk admin role, as any other role will result in a forbidden action. Additionally, if an admin tries to assign the Zendesk app to a user who is the account owner, a 403 error will occur because the account owner's profile cannot be modified by other admins. For more details, you can refer to the official article from the Okta Help Center.
