If [Group SAML](index.md) has been configured and you have an existing GitLab.com account, you can link your SCIM and SAML identities:
- By updating their *primary* email address in their GitLab.com user account to match their identity provider's user profile email address.

1. Sign in to GitLab.com if needed.
1. In the identity provider's dashboard select the GitLab app or visit the **GitLab single sign-on URL**.
1. Select the **Authorize**.
1. Update the [primary email](../../profile/index.md#change-your-primary-email) address in your GitLab.com user account to match the
user profile email address in your identity provider.
1. [Link your SAML identity](index.md#linking-saml-to-your-existing-gitlabcom-account).
