Super Administrator (Okta)
The most privileged Okta admin role, able to manage every setting, admin and identity provider in the org; the main target of tenant takeovers.
Super Administrator is the highest standard admin role in Okta: it can manage all users, apps, policies, identity providers and other administrators (Okta Help Center: administrators). That makes it the prize in identity attacks. In the System Log, a grant appears as user.account.privilege.grant (or group.privilege.grant for a group), with the role in debugContext.debugData.privilegeGranted. A new Super Administrator created from a freshly compromised admin session is the classic persistence step. See admin role and API token abuse.
