Create users through authentication integrations

Users will be:

  • Automatically created upon first sign in with the LDAP integration.
  • Created when first signing in via an OmniAuth provider if the allow_single_sign_on setting is present.
  • Created when first signing with Group SAML
  • Automatically created by SCIM when the user is created in the identity provider.
