Sync members from VCS provider

About sync

When roles and permissions are changed for any of your team members on your VCS Provider (GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket), the settings on DeepSource can be updated accordingly by running a Sync.

Running sync

1. Go to the Dashboard.
2. Switch to the correct team from the account switcher on the top left corner.
3. Go to Settings from the central navigation bar.
4. On the settings page, click on the Access control tab from the left sidebar.
5. Click on the Sync manually button to sync access settings from GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket.
6. A modal will inform you that this action cannot be undone. If you still want to continue, click Sync access settings.

Automatic sync with GitHub

By setting up Automatic Sync (currently only available for GitHub), we can sync access settings for you without any manual intervention. Whenever the permissions, or roles are changed on GitHub, whether repository-wide or organization-wide, we are notified via a webhook, and we update the settings automatically. This means that if a user exists on both GitHub and DeepSource, their access settings will automatically be synced from GitHub in the following events:

• When you remove an organization member on GitHub, they get removed from the DeepSource team as well.
• When you add a new team member on DeepSource that is a member of your organization on GitHub as well, they get added as a repository collaborator on all repositories[1] with the same permission as on GitHub.
• When you add, edit permission, or remove a repository collaborator from a repository on GitHub, the same is replicated on DeepSource.

📘

Additional features available only on Enterprise Server

• When a user signs-up on DeepSource via GitHub OAuth, they are automatically added to the DeepSource teams with the same role they have on the corresponding GitHub organizations.
• When you add an organization member on GitHub, they automatically get added to the corresponding DeepSource team as well.

Released in v3.21.0

📘

[1] For large teams i.e. teams having more than 1000 repositories, this sync is done only for the repositories which are activated on DeepSource to avoid GitHub's API rate limit from being exhausted.
