[BUG]: data "github_user_external_identity" does not return saml_identity for organisation owner

Expected Behavior

output "user_saml_identity" { value = data.github_user_external_identity.myuser.saml_identity } returning saml_identity for the user in the organisation, provided that organisation owner is making this request.

It is accessible for the organisation owner in the GitHub UI, but same information is not accessible in the github terraform provider. GitHub organisation is a part of GitHub Enterprise Account with enabled SAML and SSO.

Actual Behavior

Error: there was no external identity found for username "someuser" in Organization "someorganisation" │ │ with data.github_user_external_identity.myuser, │ on main.tf line 2, in data "github_user_external_identity" "myuser": │ 2: data "github_user_external_identity" "myuser" {

"someuser" and "someorganisation" are sanitized values for actual existing user and organisation used in real config

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.9.7

Affected Resource(s)

}

output "user_scim_identity" {
  value = data.github_user_external_identity.myuser.scim_identity
}
