5. Next, add a new scope/claim to allow Structural to access groups. You might already have added this to your default authorization server. If not, and you are not comfortable adding this scope/claim to your default authorization server, you can create a new authorization server just for Structural.

6. On your authorization server, navigate to the Scopes. Add a scope called groups.

Add Scope panel

7. Next, navigate to Claims and add a claim called groups that has the following settings:

   1. Include in token type: ID Token and Always

   2. Value type: Groups

   3. Filter: Matches Regex .* This can be used to filter to only Structural groups if this is not your default authorization server. Otherwise, Structural has its own method to filter unwanted groups.

   4. Included in: The following scopes: groups

   2. Your Okta domain (for example, tonic.okta.com)
