# GitHub member synchronization

Synchronize organization members between GitHub.com and SonarQube Cloud. GitHub member synchronization is not supported for GHE.com or GHES.

*This feature is only available in the Team and Enterprise plans. See* [Subscription plans](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans.md) *for more information.*

For GHE.com and GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) organizations, use [SSO and provisioning](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/about.md) to manage organization access through your identity provider.

When you import a GitHub.com organization to SonarQube Cloud, member synchronization is enabled by default on the new SonarQube Cloud organization provided Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication is not enabled. It means that:

* Existing SonarQube Cloud users who are members of the GitHub organization will be automatically added to the SonarQube Cloud organization during the import.
* New SonarQube Cloud users who are members of the GitHub organization will be automatically added to the SonarQube Cloud organization when they first sign up with SonarQube Cloud.
* Adding or removing GitHub organization members will be automatically synchronized in SonarQube Cloud, provided the corresponding SonarQube Cloud user exists.
* Note that user groups and permissions are not synchronized.

Enable or disable synchronization manually for organizations bound to GitHub.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/user-management/github-member-synchronization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
