Authorizing {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} for SAML users

If your organization uses SAML SSO, you may not be able to see your organization's resources after you authorize a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. For example, if the app displays a list of repositories, you may not see repositories owned by your organization. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Go to https://github.com/orgs/ORGANIZATION-NAME/sso to start an active SAML session for your organization. Replace ORGANIZATION-NAME with the name of your organization.
2. Revoke your authorization of the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
3. Reauthorize the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} authorization is initiated by the app and varies based on the app. For example, some {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} may have you click on a link or enter a command in your terminal. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

Installing or requesting {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} for SAML users

If your organization uses SAML, you may not see your organization listed when you try to install or request an {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} for your organization. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Go to https://github.com/orgs/ORGANIZATION-NAME/sso to start an active SAML session for your organization. Replace ORGANIZATION-NAME with the name of your organization.
2. Try to install or request the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} again. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE," "AUTOTITLE," and "AUTOTITLE."
