GH_ExternalIdentity

An external identity from a SAML/SCIM provider linked to a GitHub user for SSO authentication

Represents an external identity from a SAML or SCIM identity provider that is linked to a GitHub user. External identities map corporate user accounts (from providers like Okta, Azure AD, etc.) to GitHub user accounts, enabling single sign-on authentication. Each external identity can have both SAML and SCIM identity attributes.
