Subject: Getting FleetDesk onto Okta
Hi,
Thanks for taking this on. We just bought Okta and want our main system, FleetDesk (our dispatch and shipment tracker), connected to it before our cyber-insurance renewal. Here is what we need:
- One login. Staff should sign into FleetDesk through Okta. No more separate FleetDesk passwords.
- Day-one access. When HR adds someone, they should have a working FleetDesk account on their first day without anyone in Ops touching FleetDesk. Two people start Monday: Aisha Rahman (Dispatch) and Kevin O'Brien (Drivers).
- Same-day cut-off. When someone leaves, their FleetDesk access must stop the same day.
- Roles from groups. Permissions should follow the person's team:
- Operations managers (Lisa, Andre) and me → Admin
- Dispatch → Dispatcher
- Finance → Finance
- Drivers → Driver (they should only see their own loads)
- Everyone else, including Tom → Viewer
- Clean up first. I'm fairly sure some people who left still have FleetDesk accounts (Derek Lund left in June, Tanya Briggs in August). There's also a shared "dispatch desk" login the night shift uses that I'd like gone. Please tell me what you find.
- Keep a way in. If Okta goes down we still need to get into FleetDesk somehow.
- Write it up. A one-page summary of what you set up and how we add or remove people from now on.
Our HR roster is attached. It's the source of truth for who works here.
FleetDesk's admin login is fd-admin. Our office manager will send you the password separately.
Thanks,
Karen

Lab notes (for you, not the client)
- FleetDesk sign-in: https://fleetdesk.leylineitsolutions.com/login?breakglass=1 as fd-admin. The password is on the server (see Claude's setup notes).
- In FleetDesk, everything you need is under Single sign-on, Provisioning and Integration log.
- In Okta, create a custom SAML 2.0 app integration for FleetDesk, then turn on SCIM provisioning for it.
- The company's email domain for this lab is hpl.leylineitsolutions.com. No real mail is sent there, so create Okta users without activation emails (set a password yourself).
- Not everything in FleetDesk matches the roster. Finding the mismatches is part of the job.
