Okta user profile is pretty limited, so this SAML 2.0 option is a must-have for my use case.

I believe the answer is "Yes," but I need to double-check if there are any limitations on the types of attributes that can be provisioned.

I think I remember something about SAML 2.0 being important for attribute mapping, but I'm not entirely sure if all attributes can be provisioned.

Okay, I think I understand the key point here - we need a SAML 2.0 integrated app to map those extra AD attributes. I'll make sure to review that in my notes.
