As a System Administrator, you can explicitly associate an SCM (Source Control Management) account with a SonarQube user account.

SonarQube users can view the SCM accounts associated with their account: see Viewing your user profile.

About the SCM account association

SonarQube uses the association of users with SCM (Source Control Management) accounts to automatically assign issues to users:

  • If SonarQube delegates the authentication to a third-party identity provider, this association is done through the delegation. However, you can associate the user with additional SCM accounts.

  • If no delegation is used, SonarQube recognizes the SCM account from the SonarQube account’s Login and/or Email address. If it cannot perform the association (or if you want to associate other SCM accounts with the user account), you can do it explicitly.

To add an SCM account to a SonarQube user account, you associate the SCM account’s login name or email address with the SonarQube account.
