I’m using Jenkins CI and sonar-scanner and SonarCloud.
I’m not sure I understand if/why I should install Sonar GitHub App.
For now, SonarCloud analyze seems to work without GitHub App.
Into the current docs I found only “GitHub Enterporise integration” topic https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/github-application/.
If you’re using SonarCloud, make sure you’re checking the SonarCloud docs 
The SonarCloud GitHub application allows you to bind your GitHub organization to your SonarCloud organization.
This makes it…
- Super easy to add new SonarCloud projects, since you can just select a repository in your Github organization
- Makes Pull Request Decoration possible for the projects that are being analyzed
- Lets you synchronize members with your GitHub Organization

Hi Colin,
We are using Github actions, we are wondering if we can avoid creating a technical Github user account just for creating the SONAR_TOKEN by using the Sonarcloud Github app.
We don’t want to bind SONAR_TOKENs to personal GitHub users as if they leave the org our pipelines will break.
Hey there.
Today, there are no organization/project level tokens independent of a user. You can vote for this item on our roadmap
