You can authorize an existing SSH key, or create a new SSH key and then authorize it. For more information about creating a new SSH key, see "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent."
Before you can authorize a personal access token or SSH key, you must have a linked SAML identity. If you're a member of an organization where SAML SSO is enabled, you can create a linked identity by authenticating to your organization with your IdP at least once. For more information, see "About authentication with SAML single sign-on."
After you authorize a personal access token or SSH key, the authorization does not expire. The token or key will stay authorized until revoked in one of these ways.
- An organization owner revokes the authorization.
- You are removed from the organization.
- The scopes in a personal access token are edited, or the token is regenerated.
Note: If your SSH key authorization is revoked by an organization, you will not be able to reauthorize the same key. You will need to create a new SSH key and authorize it. For more information about creating a new SSH key, see "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent."

- Next to the SSH key you'd like to authorize, click Enable SSO or Disable SSO.
