Can an Okta Administrator select a domain user account during Okta AD Agent installation to serve as the Okta service account?

During the installation of the Okta AD Agent, it is indeed possible for an Okta Administrator to select a domain user account to serve as the Okta service account. This service account is crucial as it enables the AD Agent to communicate with your Active Directory environment, allowing the synchronization of users and groups between Active Directory and Okta.

The selected domain user account must have the appropriate permissions to read the attributes of AD objects, and typically, it needs to be a member of the "Domain Users" group. The flexibility in selecting any domain user account, as long as it meets the security and permission requirements, is a key aspect that supports streamlined integration and management within the Okta ecosystem.

The other options provide limitations or nuances that don't align with the straightforward capability of selecting a domain user account during installation. Hence, the ability to choose a domain user account is fundamental to the positive functioning of the Okta AD Agent.
