Corma directly integrates with GitHub for automated user provisioning and Identity Access Management (IAM) as a service
GitHub is a cloud-based platform used by engineering teams to host, manage, and collaborate on software development projects. It provides version control using Git, along with tools for code review, issue tracking, CI/CD automation, and team collaboration across repositories.
As engineering organizations scale, GitHub becomes the central system for managing source code, infrastructure definitions, and deployment pipelines. This makes access governance critical to ensure only authorized contributors can view, modify, or deploy production code.
Manual onboarding slows developer productivity
Without automation, IT or DevOps teams must manually invite users, assign roles, and add them to repositories, delaying engineering onboarding.
Excessive or outdated repository access
Developers often retain access to repositories they no longer work on, increasing the risk of unintended code exposure or accidental changes.
Former employees retaining access to codebases
If offboarding is not synchronized with HR systems, ex-employees may still access repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure code.
Inconsistent permission models across teams
Different teams manage GitHub access differently, leading to over-permissioned users or unclear ownership of sensitive repositories.
Limited visibility into active usage and licenses
Organizations often lack clarity on which users actively contribute, making it difficult to optimize GitHub seats and enforce least-privilege access.
Automated onboarding with correct repository access from day one
Corma provisions GitHub accounts automatically based on HR and identity provider data, ensuring developers receive appropriate access immediately.
Instant offboarding and access revocation
When an employee leaves or changes roles, Corma automatically removes access to repositories, organizations, and connected development tools.
Role-based access aligned with engineering structure
Permissions are continuously synchronized so developers, maintainers, and admins only access repositories relevant to their responsibilities.
Complete audit trail of all access changes
Every invitation, role update, and removal is logged automatically, supporting compliance requirements such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal security audits.
Unified visibility into GitHub usage
Corma consolidates HR data, identity provider information, and GitHub activity into a single dashboard, helping organizations detect inactive users and optimize license allocation.
Engineering teams managing code repositories and CI/CD pipelines.
DevOps teams controlling infrastructure-as-code and deployment access.
IT administrators overseeing SaaS access across developer tools.
Security and compliance teams ensuring controlled access to source code and production systems.
How quickly can Corma be connected to GitHub?
Setup typically takes only a few minutes. Once connected to your identity provider, synchronization begins immediately.
Do we need engineering support to implement this?
No. Corma uses pre-built connectors that eliminate the need for custom development.
How is data security handled during integration?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in France on AWS infrastructure, and protected under ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified security controls with strict governance.
