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., smartling@yourbusiness.com
To do so, you will need to revoke the original authentication user and reauthorize the connector as the new user.
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- You will see the follow flag confirming user access has been revoked in GitHub and you need to reauthorize the connector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
