Identity and access management platform

Okta's dev channel reads as a blog, with Cross App Access as the real thread.

identityai-agentscross-app-accessdevrelenterprise-provisioningoin
◆Current state
Okta's developer feed is running as a blog and DevRel channel rather than a product changelog—the most recent posts are new-team-member introductions and event recaps. The substantive product thread underneath is Cross App Access (XAA), a model for letting AI agents act on a user's behalf across enterprise apps without sharing credentials, plus low-code API Integration Actions landing in the Okta Integration Network.
◆Where it's heading
Okta is betting that identity becomes the governance layer for enterprise AI agents, and is building developer mindshare around XAA ahead of broad adoption. The pattern pairs heavy evangelism—DevRel hires, Developer Connect events—with steady enablement content for XAA and for entitlement and provisioning integrations.
◆Prediction
Expect continued XAA enablement—more sample apps and the xaa.dev playground maturing—and OIN integration actions moving past free-trial orgs, alongside sustained DevRel and event output.

    Develop a XAA-Enabled Resource Application and Test with Okta

    A how-to tutorial on building an XAA-enabled resource application and testing it with Okta. Enablement content for the already-launched Cross App Access model rather than a new release, but it keeps the XAA thread visible.
