SAML SSO allows you to centrally control and secure access to {% data variables.location.product_location %} from your SAML IdP. When an unauthenticated user visits {% data variables.location.product_location %} in a browser, {% data variables.product.github %} will redirect the user to your SAML IdP to authenticate. After the user successfully authenticates with an account on the IdP, the IdP redirects the user back to {% data variables.location.product_location %}. {% data variables.product.github %} validates the response from your IdP, then grants access to the user.
