Requesting Access to GitHub EMU

Guides for requesting access to the Department of Veterans Affairs GitHub Enterprise Managed Users enterprise.

Note: Access to the EMU UI is currently restricted to the VA network, via Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Citrix Access Gateway (CAG), or Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).

GitHub Enterprise Managed Users

GitHub Enterprise Managed Users uses Single Sign-On to manage access to the instance. Users must have a PIV and been issued a @va.gov email addresses to onboard.

Access is managed via a Self-Service Onboarding request. To onboard, simply navigate to Entra ID Apps and login with your @va.gov email address. Once on the page select Add Apps at the top of the page and select Request new Apps in the dropdown.

On the next page, search for GitHub and select Add on the GitHub app. For the justification, provide the reason for your need to access GitHub Enterprise Managed Users. Once submitted, the request will be automatically approved.

Account provisioning occurs every 40 minutes. Once your account is provisioned (you will not receive an email), you may login to the GitHub Enterprise Managed Users enterprise with your @va.gov address.

Once provisioned, you will be added to the dva-software organization. This is our default organization where software development should occur.
