What is the main administrative purpose of synchronizing IdP groups to GitHub teams (team synchronization)?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.

Full Explanation
The correct answer is mapping IdP groups to GitHub teams so membership remains aligned with corporate directory state. Team synchronization reduces manual adds/removes and improves joiner-mover-leaver hygiene for repository access mediated by teams. Option A is unrelated. Option B is unrelated to access management. Option C is false. Design group strategy carefully (least privilege teams, avoid oversized catch-all groups), monitor sync failures, and remember that org roles like owner still need deliberate assignment beyond simple team sync.
