Managing temporary access manually creates significant help desk bottlenecks and end-user login friction. When users lose their primary authenticators or onboard passwordless, generating a Temporary Access Code (TAC) in Okta Identity Engine (OIE) requires admins to manually adjust group policies. Even worse, if an admin forgets to remove a user from the TAC policy group after the code expires, the user gets locked in an authentication loop. In this technical demonstration from the Okta Workflows DC Meetup on June 10 2026, Karthik Chinthamani (Senior Technical Account Manager at Okta) demonstrates how to end-to-end automate the temporary access lifecycle using Okta Workflows, Delegated Flows, Slack, and Event Hooks. Key Highlights Featured in this Demo: • Understanding TAC in Okta OIE: Explains lost-factor, device recovery, and passwordless onboarding scenarios for one-time or multi-use temporary access codes. • The Manual Friction Problem: Shows how expired TAC codes leave users stuck in policy groups, preventing normal factor authentication. • Delegated Workflows & Slack Integration: Enables help desk teams to invoke automated TAC generation and receive 8-digit codes directly in a secure Slack thread. • Event Hook Auto-Remediation: Listens for the user.mfa.factor.deactivated syslog event when a TAC code expires, instantly triggering a workflow that removes the user from the policy group automatically. • Seamless End-User Recovery: Restores smooth, normal factor logins for users the moment their temporary access window closes without manual IT intervention. Streamline your help desk operations and deliver frictionless passwordless recovery in Okta.
