Master GitHub Enterprise administration across seven critical domains. You will configure identity management using SAML SSO and Enterprise Managed Users with identity providers like Azure Active Directory and Okta. You will enforce the principle of least privilege by setting access permissions at the enterprise, organization, team, and repository levels, assigning roles such as member, owner, maintainer, and triage to match each user's responsibilities.
