Single sign-on banners consolidated across GitHub

[tuves]

✅ Overview

We’re streamlining the experience for users who belong to organizations requiring SSO authentication. With this release, multiple SSO banners that previously appeared throughout GitHub are consolidated into a single, unified, and dismissible banner. Previously, users in SSO-required organizations encountered various inconsistent banners, leading to visual clutter and notification fatigue. This release introduces a unified approach, improving the user experience while ensuring important information is always accessible.

🚀 What's new

• Unified SSO banner: Instead of seeing multiple SSO banners across different pages, users will now see one clear, dismissible banner whenever SSO is required to view content.
• Smart dismissal: The banner can be dismissed via the ✖️ button and will only reappear if your SSO state changes (e.g., you log out of an SSO organization or are added to a new one).
• Enhanced SSO information: Organization and SSO details are now more visible in the SSO & Organizations tab in your settings, making it easier to check your SSO status at any time.

Hi,

Not sure if related to this roll out, but the last few days (I think it was ok all of last week) I no longer get the banner and have to go via the single sign on page in my settings to sign in to my organisation.

I note the comment on smart dismissal: you log out of an SSO organization or are added to a new one
Does that include if I have:

1. Accidentally dismissed it
2. Manually signed in
3. Am automatically logged out overnight

so I should still get it again the next morning?

Is there a way to reset the smart dismissal state?

Same here. I'm logged out after 24 hours. As someone who works off of the notifications view, it's annoying that I now need 3 clicks (Avatar > SSO > Org sign in) and have to go through a full page load, every working day, to see my work notifications.

There appears to have been a regression and now I get multiple instances of the SSO banner on the GitHub homepage, including an undismissable banner for any orgs I am not signed into, in addition to the normal consolidated banner. I only want to sign into one org most of the time, and having these other orgs in an undismissable highlighted banner across the entire homepage is not a great experience.
