## Edge Schema

* Source: [GH\_ExternalIdentity](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_externalidentity)
* Destination: [GH\_User](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_user)
* Traversable: ❌

## General Information

The non-traversable GH\_MapsToUser edge maps an external identity (provisioned via SAML or SCIM) to a GitHub user within the organization, or to an external IdP user (such as [AZUser](/resources/nodes/az-user), [Okta\_User](/opengraph/extensions/okta/nodes/okta_user), or [PingOneUser](https://github.com/andyrobbins/PingOneHound?tab=readme-ov-file#schema)) in hybrid graph scenarios. This edge represents identity correlation rather than an attack path, connecting a user's external IdP account to their GitHub account for visibility into federated identity mappings.
