Automatic group synchronization

This page describes the automatic group synchronization solution in SonarQube Cloud.

The automatic synchronization of user groups is used with the Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication. See the User group concept page for more information about user groups in SonarQube Cloud.

With the automatic group synchronization:

• A user in SonarQube Cloud is automatically added to an organization’s group within the enterprise if the user is a member of a group with the same name in the IdP. (The check is case-sensitive and excludes the organization’s default Members group.)

• The users added to a SonarQube Cloud group become members of the respective organization.

If a group with the same name is assigned to several organizations, the user account is added to all these groups and thus, is a member of all these organizations.

If a user cannot be added to any group in SonarQube Cloud, they will land on an empty organization page.
