During implementation with OAuth App, an Admin user in your GitHub Organization authenticated Smartling in GitHub.
You may need to change the authentication user for any one of the following reasons:
They are no longer part of your GitHub Organization (deleted)
Their permissions have changed (no longer an Admin)
Your organization's authentication mechanisms have been enhanced (e.g. SAML added)
You want to change the authentication user to a dedicated user email, e.g., [email protected]
To do so, you will need to revoke the original authentication user and reauthorize the connector as the new user.
We recommend using our GitHub App instead of OAuth, as it removes the need for service users and centralizes permissions and access management. Learn more.
How to revoke a GitHub user
Log out of GitHub
Log in to GitHub using the user you wish to use for the integration
As always, this user must have Admin
In GitHub, go to User Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps > Smartling GitHub Connector
Click Revoke
Log in to Smartling
The user email you log in to Smartling with does not have to be the same email address as the one logged into GitHub
Click Settings > GitHub Connector
You will see the follow flag confirming user access has been revoked in GitHub and you need to reauthorize the connector
Click Re-authorize and grant full access to authorize Smartling in GitHub
