Note
To use SAML single sign-on, your organization must use GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information about how you can try GitHub Enterprise Cloud for free, see "Setting up a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
When you enforce SAML SSO, all members of the organization must authenticate through your IdP to access the organization's resources. Before enforcing SAML SSO in your organization, you should review organization membership, enable SAML SSO, and review organization members' SAML access. For more information, see the following.
