Ask HN: GitHub User Permissions on Mobile?

1 points by kundi 2y ago ↗ HN

Although Github seems to be neglecting their mobile app, user permissions should be quite essential to be managed on the mobile devices.

Every time a new person joins an organization, is it really needed to navigate to the desktop website to add it there?

Are there any better solutions out there? I find it frustrating to be required in using the desktop app for these basic operations.

Thank you

I feel like there's a deeper underlying issue if you're doing user onboarding/offboarding manually via a specific service UI.

I'd assume most organizations should be automating this, either by using SSO and Github Enterprise (or other SSO-supporting code forge of choice) or at the very least automating user permissions via Github's API, backing it by whatever your org's source of truth is.
