[Action Required] Update your GitHub Enterprise User Offboarding Process

[richardlau]

Got this in my inbox:

Hello,

You are receiving this email because GitHub has identified that your enterprise, Node.js, may need a process update to ensure users are properly offboarded when they are deprovisioned or removed from your enterprise’s organizations.

A recent product change now allows users to stay connected to an enterprise once organization access is revoked. If a user is removed from all organizations in your enterprise, they will now remain in the enterprise as an “unaffiliated user” instead of being automatically removed. Unaffiliated users no longer have access to private or internal repositories, but can still consume Copilot licenses if assigned at the enterprise level.

To fully offboard a user from your enterprise, you’ll now need to either:

• Take the remove enterprise member action through the enterprise account People view, or
• Set up automation using the remove enterprisemember GraphQL API endpoint.

Note: This applies even if you have SCIM configured at the organization level. You’ll need to take one of the actions above to fully remove users from the enterprise

To learn more, see the documentation on unaffiliated users.

Thank you,
The GitHub Enterprise Team

Thanks for flagging. We will look into this.

I think ideally this would be some sort of automated process. Otherwise we will need to identify every offboarding process (e.g. collaborator offboarding, working group offboarding, etc) to update those with the extra steps.

Yep I also got this email from them. It's in my backlog to take a look at. I agree with @richardlau automating this would be way to go.
