Okta is the system Mercor uses to manage access to internal work tools. Upon acceptance of your contract, Okta provides you with access to project tools such as Slack and guarantees that all systems are secure and centrally managed.
Username = Email
Your Okta email is consistently the personal email associated with your work.mercor.com account.
Slack access only
Currently, Okta manages Slack access exclusively, while access to other tools relies on previous credentials.
No separate Okta email
You will not receive a separate email invitation. Access is granted through your contract.
Password reset via contract
In the event of losing access, please proceed to reset directly from the Okta step in your contractual agreement.
Overview
- Your Okta account is created automatically upon initiating the contract acceptance process.
- Okta manages access to designated work applications — presently limited to Slack exclusively.
- Your Okta email corresponds to your personal Gmail address — the same one associated with your Mercor profile.
- If your platform email is updated later, your Okta email will be updated as well, and your previous Okta password will remain valid.
If you have recently accepted a contract and have not yet been granted Slack access, or if you encounter the message “No available workspaces,” please wait up to 24 hours for Slack to complete synchronization.
How It Works
1
Account Creation
Okta accounts are automatically created when accepting the offer at the Okta Access step.
2
Login Access
To access your Okta dashboard, click on the Okta Access step again, then select ‘Okta Dashboard.’  Your username corresponds to your personal Gmail account.
3
Access Revocation
Okta access is revoked solely upon the conclusion of all Mercor contracts associated with your account. Should one project complete while another remains active, your Okta access will remain in effect.
4
Slack Access
Migration to Okta will deactivate the previous Slack credentials. Please utilize your Okta login for access. Kindly note that workspace access may require several hours to become active.
