Butterfly certified partners
We are opening a founding certification cohort for partners who want to provide Okta recovery, backup, restore, SSO/SCIM, Workflows recovery, managed resilience, and audit-evidence services with Butterfly's evidence-first delivery standard.
Program shape
Training gets a partner started. Delivery certification requires exams, labs, artifacts, a supervised engagement, and ongoing quality checks. The goal is simple: customers should know who is allowed to touch their identity recovery process and what proof they will receive.
Tell us your partner motion, target customers, operators, Okta/IAM experience, and whether you want referral, delivery, or managed-service authorization.
Complete the relevant modules for recovery operations, implementation, SSO/SCIM, Workflows, restore drills, and evidence handoff.
Pass the knowledge check, complete sandbox labs, and submit artifacts that show the work actually happened.
Complete one supervised customer or sandbox engagement before delivering Butterfly-branded services independently.
Renew annually, keep certified personnel active, follow brand/security rules, and pass quality checks after customer deliveries.
Certification levels
For consultants who run backups, restore previews, readiness checks, audit exports, and evidence collection under an approved scope.
Proof: Knowledge exam plus sandbox backup, compare, restore-preview, and evidence-export lab.
For implementers delivering backup setup, SSO/SCIM setup, Workflows recovery mapping, and restore-drill preparation.
Proof: Operator certification plus SSO/SCIM lab, customer change-control plan, and accepted implementation evidence.
For senior operators who lead restore drills, supervise delivery, review evidence packs, and coordinate escalation paths.
Proof: Supervised delivery, evidence-pack review, practical drill, and Butterfly reviewer interview.
For partner firms that can independently deliver approved Butterfly service packages with trained staff and security controls.
Proof: Two certified individuals, signed partner terms, security review, insurance where needed, and one accepted supervised engagement.
For MSPs/MSSPs bundling recurring reporting, monthly checks, quarterly restore drills, and customer escalation boundaries.
Proof: Delivery Partner status plus L1 support model, managed-customer authorization, reporting cadence, and offboarding process.
Training tracks
Capstone lab
Training modules are the starting point. Certification requires a hands-on project in a non-production Okta tenant that mirrors the customer work partners will perform: backup, restore preview, SSO/SCIM validation, evidence capture, and handoff.
Seed a non-production Okta environment with customer-like users, groups, apps, admin boundaries, policy fixtures, and SCIM lifecycle cases. No customer data is allowed.
Install Butterfly through the Okta Integration Network flow, configure SSO/SCIM where the track requires it, create the recovery schedule, and document access boundaries.
Run a backup, compare the captured state, generate a restore preview or dry run, and explain exactly what would change before any mutation is approved.
Submit timestamps, backup IDs, restore-preview IDs, screenshots, API responses, audit-log references, readiness notes, and a customer handoff summary.
Passing requires an 85% score or better and zero critical failures. Butterfly reviewers validate the artifact trail before any partner receives delivery authority.
Delivery guardrails
Butterfly-certified partners must stay inside written customer scope, produce evidence, and escalate when production risk appears. Certification can be suspended or revoked when the delivery standard breaks.
Founding cohort
The founding cohort is intentionally small: up to five partner organizations, two operators per organization, and one supervised Okta recovery or readiness pilot before directory listing or independent delivery.
