GitHub EMU Provisioner

The PingFederate GitHub Enterprise Managed Users (EMU) Provisioner enables an enterprise to provision users and groups to GitHub. A quick connection template is also included to simplify the configuration of single sign-on (SSO).

For more information on GitHub EMU, see the .github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-enterprise-managed-users-for-iam/about-enterprise-managed-users//[GitHub website].

Features

  • Outbound User Provisioning

  • Outbound Group Provisioning

  • Browser-based single sign-on (SSO) initiated by the service provider (SP) or identity provider (IdP)

  • Pre-populates some connection settings with the included quick connection template and SAML metadata file

  • Includes support for user life cycle management (including creates, updates, disables, and deletes)

  • Includes configuration options for workflow capabilities (for example, the ability to disable updates)

GitHub EMU does not support user or group provisioning until SSO/SAML is configured.
