Associating a user with an SCM account

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 another SCM account with the user account), you can do it explicitly.

To associate a SonarQube user account with an SCM account:

1. In Administration > Security > Users, retrieve the user.
2. In the user's Actions column, select the three-dot menu.
3. Select Update (SCM) details.
4. Near SCM Accounts, select Add. A box is displayed.
5. In the box, enter the SCM account's login or email address.
6. To associate another account, re-select Add, etc.
7. Select Update.
