Create a Bookmark URL Tile in Your Okta Dashboard

We recommend creating a Bookmark URL tile in your Okta dashboard for your users to make the login process easier:

  1. Navigate to Applications > Applications.
  2. Click Browse App Catalog.
  3. Click Bookmark App > Add Integration.
  4. Application Name: Buoyant Cloud
  5. URL: The login URL our team provides upon integration confirmation (e.g., https://buoyant.cloud/login?connection=<org>).

Uninstall

To uninstall the application from the Okta portal, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Okta Developer Console.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications.
  3. Find the Buoyant Cloud application in the list and click on it.
  4. Click on the Delete button at the top of the application details page.
  5. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

This will remove the Buoyant Cloud application and any associated configurations from your Okta environment.
