Summary

GitHub has introduced enterprise managed users (EMU) for GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC), providing companies with centralized user account administration and enhanced control over their employees' accounts while maintaining the scalability and reliability of the platform. This feature allows companies to connect their identity providers (IdPs) with GitHub, streamlining user account creation, updates, and suspensions, and enabling synchronization of GitHub user details with corporate identities. EMU also enhances auditing capabilities, allowing enterprise owners to monitor user activities and ensuring that repositories within EMU accounts remain private to protect intellectual property. This development does not affect regular GitHub users and is available for enterprises utilizing AzureAD and Okta IdPs.
