About SAML access to your enterprise account

When you enable SAML single sign-on for your enterprise account, each enterprise member can link their external identity on your identity provider (IdP) to their existing account on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. To access each organization's resources on GitHub Enterprise Server, the member must have an active SAML session in their browser. Enterprise owners can view and revoke a member's active SAML sessions at any time.

Viewing and revoking an active SAML session

  1. In the top-right corner of GitHub Enterprise Server, click your profile photo, then click Enterprise settings.
