Okta disaster recovery for Notion admins
Notion has become the company-knowledge layer for many modern orgs. When Okta governs Notion authentication, an unintended Okta-side configuration change locks the team out of runbooks, customer accounts, and onboarding docs.
Butterfly captures versioned snapshots of the Okta configuration governing Notion access — the SAML / OIDC app, the SCIM feed, assigned groups, sign-on policies, and Workflows automations. Restore preview shows the diff before any revert.
What you get
How Butterfly fits Notion
Notion SSO app is versioned
Every backup captures the Okta-side Notion app integration — SAML signing certificate, attribute mapping, assigned groups, and sign-on policy.
SCIM provisioning to Notion workspaces
The Okta-to-Notion SCIM connection is part of every snapshot. Workspace assignment and member-level mappings are versioned.
Group rules drive Notion membership
Restore preview shows which Notion-bound groups would change before any commit.
What goes wrong
Three incidents you have already seen variations of
Sign-on policy change blocks onboarding access to Notion docs
A device-trust tightening caught the new-hire group. New hires could not reach onboarding docs. Restore preview surfaces the policy diff.
SCIM mapping change strips workspace membership
A SCIM attribute mapping change moved a population to a different Notion workspace. Customers' shared workspace lost the account team. Restore preview surfaces the mapping diff.
Group rule deletion drops Notion access for a regional office
A directory cleanup removed a group rule feeding the regional-APAC group. Members lost Notion access overnight.
Honest scope
What Butterfly captures — and what it does not
In scope
The Okta-side configuration governing Notion access: the Notion SAML / OIDC app integration, attribute mappings, SCIM provisioning configuration, assigned users and groups, group rules, sign-on policies, and Workflows automations.
Out of scope
We do not back up Notion pages, databases, or any Notion-side content. Notion-side backup is owned by Notion's own export tooling.

Regulatory shape
Compliance and audit angle
SOC 2 CC6 (logical access) is the most common framework relevant to knowledge-base identity continuity. GDPR Article 32 applies where Notion holds personal data.
Butterfly's own SOC 2 Type II work is in progress; current status lives in the Trust Center.
