Yes, It is possible to map new users to a specific Business Unit/ Team. You can pass an attribute named "teamName" in your SAML assertion containing the Business Unit Name / Team Name from your QuestionPro account which will add new users under that specific Business Unit/ Team. In the following example shown in the screenshot we have used the "Department" field of the user's profile to store the Team Name for the user which will be passed in the SAML assertion:

To get the Business Unit Name/ Team Name from your QuestionPro account, please follow the steps below:

• Go to User Profile >> Organization >> Teams
• Create a new team if required or copy the Team name of the existing Team("Team 1" in this case)

• You can use the Team Name in any field of the user profile under your Okta account. To access the user's profile in your Okta account go to People >> User >> Profile

• Here you can edit the user's profile.

Some of our employees are moved from the Research department to the Management department, how should we update their department in our QuestionPro account through our SSO connection?

• If there's is any change in the team/ department of the existing user then you can simply update the user's profile details at your IDP's side of the connection. Now whenever the user logs in to their QuestionPro account their team will be updated automatically.
