Automatic group synchronization
The automatic synchronization of groups is only supported with the SAML SSO authentication.
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.
