| ## Background | ||
| PowerShell is an excellent introductory tool for general automation tasks. It is easier to set up but can require extensive customization to integrate with a more complete infrastructure-as-code solution. In this lab, the focus will be on reading data with PowerShell, but it is a general-purpose tool that can read from and write to Okta when configured with the appropriate scopes. |

Should we link out to PowerShell and Terraform here?
| - Install [Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/aws-get-started/install-cli). This lab was tested on v1.11.3. | ||
| - Create an Okta org by [signing up](https://developer.okta.com/signup/) for Workforce Identity Cloud. | ||

| You have set up the PowerShell application with various scopes. What interesting information about your organization can you retrieve using these scopes? Will these scopes allow you to make any changes to the Okta organization? Try some PowerShell commands to create or destroy resources and see what happens! |
