Automatic group synchronization

This page describes how to work with automatic group synchronization in SonarQube Cloud when setting up your SSO authentication protocols with your identity provider.

The automatic synchronization of user groups is only supported 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.
