Process escalated account, group, and permission changes; troubleshoot authentication, authorization, policy, trust, and replication issues; and improve identity-related Service Desk routing and knowledge content.

Provide advanced support during identity and authentication incidents, escalate widespread failures through incident-response procedures, and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Maintain and execute AD backup, authoritative and non-authoritative restoration, deleted-object recovery, and forest-recovery procedures, and support COOP and disaster-recovery exercises.

Support integration testing between AD and Okta or other approved identity platforms, validating synchronization, authentication flows, attribute and group mappings, provisioning, and SAML, OIDC, OAuth, SCIM, or LDAP protocols, and documenting test results.

Automate approved directory administration, health validation, and reporting; review audit information; apply DISA STIGs and security baselines; and support RMF controls, POA&M activities, and remediation.

Maintain SOPs, recovery plans, configuration baselines, and directory diagrams, and provide directory-service health, risk, and modernization information for program reporting.

Experience testing identity integrations or supporting identity-modernization activities, with an understanding of the distinction between core AD DS and external ICAM, federation, or cloud-identity services.
