Updating a user's SAML NameID

About updates to users' SAML NameID

In some situations, you may need to update values associated with a person's account on your SAML IdP. If that identifier is also the NameID that you use for authentication on GitHub Enterprise Server, you must update the NameID mapping on your instance so the person can continue to authenticate successfully. For more information, see "Username considerations for external authentication."
