+- [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211962) in GitLab 13.8 with allowing group owners to not go through SSO.
 
 With this option enabled, users must go through your group's GitLab single sign-on URL. They may also be added via SCIM, if configured. Users can't be added manually, and may only access project/group resources via the UI by signing in through the SSO URL.
