# Enable Okta Universal Logout for Cerby

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, and **Admins**
* Okta **Admins**
* Only supported using the Cerby web app and the Okta Admin dashboard
  {% endhint %}

As an Okta **Admin**, you can leverage Okta’s[ Universal Logout](https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/content/topics/itp/universal-logout.htm) feature to trigger the logout action from Okta and extend it to Cerby. Because Cerby is included in the Okta Integration Network (OIN) app catalog, you must only enable it through the Okta dashboard.

**IMPORTANT:** Users must be provisioned from Okta for the Universal Logout feature to work.

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/security-governance/universal-logout/enable-okta-universal-logout-for-cerby.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
