About Enterprise Managed Users

Learn how your enterprise can manage the lifecycle and authentication of users on GitHub from your identity provider (IdP).

What are Enterprise Managed Users in GitHub?

With Enterprise Managed Users, you manage the lifecycle and authentication of your users on GitHub.com or GHE.com from an external identity management system, or IdP:

  • Your IdP provisions new user accounts on GitHub, with access to your enterprise.
  • Users must authenticate on your IdP to access your enterprise's resources on GitHub.
  • You control usernames, profile data, organization membership, and repository access from your IdP.
  • If your enterprise uses OIDC SSO, GitHub will validate access to your enterprise and its resources using your IdP's Conditional Access Policy (CAP). See Sobre o suporte para a Política de Acesso Condicional do IdP.
  • Contas de usuário gerenciadas cannot create public content or collaborate outside your enterprise. See Capacidades e restrições de contas de usuários gerenciados.

Observação

Enterprise Managed Users is not the best solution for every customer. To determine whether it's right for your enterprise, see Enterprise types for GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

How does EMUs integrate with identity management systems?

O GitHub faz parceria com alguns desenvolvedores de sistemas de gerenciamento de identidades para fornecer uma integração simplificada aos Enterprise Managed Users. Para simplificar sua configuração e garantir suporte total, use um único IdP parceiro para autenticação e provisionamento.

What are partner identity providers?

Partner IdPs provide authentication using SAML or OIDC, and provide provisioning with System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM).

Partner IdPSAMLOIDCSCIM
Entra ID
Okta
PingFederate

When you use a single partner IdP for both authentication and provisioning, GitHub provides support for the application on the partner IdP and the IdP's integration with GitHub.

Can I use identity management systems other than the supported partners?

If you cannot use a single partner IdP for both authentication and provisioning, you can use another identity management system or combination of systems. The system must:

  • Adhere to GitHub's integration guidelines
  • Provide authentication using SAML, adhering to SAML 2.0 specification
  • Provide user lifecycle management using SCIM, adhering to the SCIM 2.0 specification and communicating with GitHub's REST API (see Provisionar usuários e grupos com SCIM usando a API REST)

O GitHub não oferece suporte expresso à mistura de IdPs de parceiros para autenticação e provisionamento e não testa todos os sistemas de gerenciamento de identidades. A equipe de suporte do GitHub talvez não consiga ajudar você em problemas relacionados a sistemas misturados ou não testados. Se você precisar de ajuda, consulte a documentação do sistema, a equipe de suporte ou outros recursos.

Importante

A combinação do Okta e do Entra ID para SSO e SCIM (em qualquer ordem) não tem suporte explicitamente. A API do SCIM do GitHub retornará um erro para o provedor de identidade mediante tentativas de provisionamento se essa combinação estiver configurada.

How are usernames and profile information managed for EMUs?

GitHub automatically creates a username for each developer by normalizing an identifier provided by your IdP. If the unique parts of the identifier are removed during normalization, a conflict may occur. See Considerações de nome de usuário para autenticação externa.

The profile name and email address of a conta de usuário gerenciada is provided by the IdP:

  • Contas de usuário gerenciadas cannot change their profile name or email address on GitHub.
  • The IdP can only provide one email address.
  • Changing a user's email address in your IdP will unlink the user from the contribution history associated with the old email address.

How are roles and access managed for EMUs?

In your IdP, you can give each conta de usuário gerenciada a role in your enterprise, such as member, owner, or guest collaborator. See Abilities of roles in an enterprise.

Organization memberships (and repository access) can be managed manually, or you can update memberships automatically using IdP groups. See Gerenciando associações de equipes com grupos de provedores de identidade.

How do contas de usuário gerenciadas authenticate to GitHub?

The locations where contas de usuário gerenciadas can authenticate to GitHub depends on how you configure authentication (SAML or OIDC). See Efetuar a autenticação com Enterprise Managed Users.

By default, when an unauthenticated user attempts to access your enterprise, GitHub displays a 404 error. You can optionally enable automatic redirects to single sign-on (SSO) instead. See Aplicando políticas para configurações de segurança na sua empresa.
