GitHub Connector – User Role Information

Completed
Raz Linkovski User

Which connector? github 

 

Additional details:

Hi Fivetran Support,

We're using the GitHub connector and noticed that the TEAM_MEMBERSHIP table contains only the following columns:

  • USER_ID
  • TEAM_ID

According to the GitHub API, team memberships include a role field (e.g. member or maintainer).

Could you please clarify:

  1. Is the role field currently supported by the GitHub connector?
  2. If so, which table and column should contain this information?
  3. If not, is there a configuration, permission, or connector version that enables syncing team member roles?
  4. Are organization-level membership roles (e.g. admin / member) available anywhere in the connector schema?

More generally, our goal is to identify the role associated with each GitHub user in the organization. We would appreciate your guidance on the recommended way to retrieve this information through the GitHub connector, including any relevant tables, fields, permissions, or alternative approaches.

For reference, the GitHub token used by the connector has:

  • Organization Members: Read
  • Organization Hooks: Read & Write
  • Repository Code, Issues, Metadata, and Pull Requests: Read

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Raz

    Hi everyone,

    The GitHub connector now supports syncing user role information, including the role field in team memberships and a new org_member table. Please refer to our latest release notes.

    Thank you to everyone on this thread for your feedback and patience throughout the rollout.

    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi Raz,

    Thank you for submitting this request. Adding user role information from the GitHub API into the connector is a valuable idea. I have added this request to our feature improvements backlog for further research.

    We'll keep the community updated on this thread with any progress regarding this request.

    Thanks,
