User onboarding automation in SonarCloud

[Prabhu (Prabhu Mounagurusamy)]

• ALM used (GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud, Azure DevOps) - GitHub

We are working on automating the user onboarding in SonarCloud, but unfortunately with the current setup, users will be able to added to group only when they having logged in to SonarCloud once. SonarCloud API for add member is also not working when the sync is enabled with ALM for our organization. Can you please advise if there is any feature available in SonarCloud to achieve this.

• Potential workaround - Manual user onboarding only

Hey there.

There is no good solution today.

Synchronization between github and sonarcloud users without first login

Hey there. We agree this isn’t ideal for the onboarding of bigger teams. We plan to work on this in 2022. Users in the past have requested a synchronization of groups / permissions from GitHub so that there’s no manual permission assignment needed – meaning that if you have the right to view a repository on GitHub, you can view the associated SonarCloud project. Would this be useful to you?

You may find it useful to provide feedback on this card in our roadmap about onboarding of teams

Thanks for the response. I have given my feedback to the roadmap item shared for onboarding. But I think until then, it will be a challenge in automating the user onboarding and setting up RBAC based on the groups.
Do you think any ETA available for this backlog item please?
