| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Before your developers can use {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, you must follow a series of configuration steps. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Create a new enterprise account |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +To use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, you need a **separate type of enterprise account** with {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} enabled. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +To request a new enterprise account, contact [{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s Sales team](https://enterprise.github.com/contact). You'll discuss options for trialing {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} or migrating from an existing enterprise. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +When you're ready, your contact on the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} Sales team will create your new {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}. You'll be asked to provide the following information: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- The **email address** for the user who will set up your enterprise. |
| 28 | +- A **short code** that will be used as the suffix for your enterprise members' usernames. {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.emu-shortcode %} |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Create the setup user |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +After we create your enterprise, you will receive an email inviting you to choose a password for the setup user, which is used to configure authentication and provisioning. The username is your enterprise's shortcode suffixed with `_admin`, for example `fabrikam_admin`. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Using an **incognito or private browsing window**: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +1. Set the user's password. |
| 37 | +1. Save the user's recovery codes. |
| 38 | +1. Enable two-factor authentication. See "[AUTOTITLE](/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication)." |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.emu-password-reset-session %} |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Configure authentication |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Next, configure how your members will authenticate. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +**If you're using Entra ID** as your IdP, you can choose between OpenID Connect (OIDC) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). |
| 47 | +- We recommend OIDC, which includes support for Conditional Access Policies (CAP). |
| 48 | +- If you require multiple enterprises provisioned from one tenant, you must use SAML for each enterprise after the first. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +**If you're using another IdP**, like Okta or PingFederate, you must use SAML to authenticate your members. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +To get started, read the guide for your chosen authentication method. |

| 55 | +- "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/identity-and-access-management/managing-iam-with-enterprise-managed-users/configuring-saml-single-sign-on-for-enterprise-managed-users)" |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +## Configure provisioning |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +After you configure authentication, you can configure SCIM provisioning, which is how your IdP will create {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users %} on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. See "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-enterprise-managed-users-for-iam/configuring-scim-provisioning-for-enterprise-managed-users)." |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Manage organization membership |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +After authentication and provisioning are configured, you can start managing organization membership for your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users %} by synchronizing IdP groups with teams. See "[AUTOTITLE](/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-enterprise-managed-users-for-iam/managing-team-memberships-with-identity-provider-groups)." |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Support developers with multiple user accounts |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Developers may need to maintain separate, personal accounts for their work outside of your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}. You can help them manage multiple accounts by providing the following resources: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +- **On the command line**, developers can configure Git to simplify the process of using multiple accounts. See "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-personal-account/managing-multiple-accounts)." |
| 70 | +- **In the web interface**, developers can switch between accounts without always needing to re-authenticate. See "[AUTOTITLE](/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/switching-between-accounts)." |
