About identity and access management
Before you start using {% data variables.product.product_name %}, you must decide whether you want to allow your developers to create and manage their own personal accounts, or whether you want to use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, which allows you to create and manage the user accounts for your developers through your IdP.
If you choose {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, all user accounts must be provisioned by a supported IdP via SCIM, and you can manage team and organization membership via your IdP, too. {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users_caps %} are strongly restricted in their ability to contribute outside of your enterprise.
If you choose not to use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, your developers will create their own personal accounts on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, but you can optionally require SAML authentication before those personal accounts can access your enterprise's resources.
To help you decide which choice is best for your enterprise, see "AUTOTITLE."
