-With directory group-to-team provisioning from your IdP, user updates will automatically sync with your Docker organizations and teams. You can use group mapping once you have configured [single sign-on (SSO)](../single-sign-on/_index.md).
+Group mapping lets you sync user groups from your identity provider (IdP) with teams in your Docker organization. This automates team membership management, keeping your Docker teams up to date based on changes in your IdP. You can use group mapping once you have configured [single sign-on (SSO)](../single-sign-on/_index.md).

+> Group mapping is ideal for adding users to multiple organizations or multiple teams within one organization. If you don't need to set up multi-organization or multi-team assignment, you can use SCIM [user-level attributes](scim.md#set-up-role-mapping).
 
 ## How group mapping works
 
-IdPs share with Docker the main attributes of every authorized user through SSO, such as email address, name, surname, and groups. Just-in-Time (JIT) Provisioning uses these attributes to create or update the user’s Docker profile and their associations with organizations and teams on Docker Hub.
+With group mapping enabled, when a user authenticates through SSO, your IdP shares key attributes with Docker, such as the user's email address, name, and groups. Docker uses these attributes to create or update the user's profile, as well as to manage their team and organization assignments. With group mapping, users’ team memberships in Docker automatically reflect changes made in your IdP groups.
 
-Docker uses the email address of the user to identify them on the platform. Every Docker account must have a unique email address at all times.
+It's important to note that Docker uses the user's email address as a unique identifier. Each Docker account must always have a unique email address.
 
 ## Use group mapping
 
-To correctly assign your users to Docker teams, you must create groups in your IdP following the naming pattern `organization:team`. For example, if you want to manage provisioning for the team "developers", and your organization name is "moby", you must create a group in your IdP with the name `moby:developers`.
+To assign users to Docker teams through your IdP, you must create groups in your IdP following the naming pattern: `organization:team`. For example, if your organization is called "moby" and you want to manage the "developers" team, the group name in your IdP should be `moby:developers`. In this example, any user added to this group in your IdP is automatically assigned to the "developers" team in Docker.
 
-Once you enable group mappings in your connection, users assigned to that group in your IdP will automatically be added to the team "developers" in Docker.
+You can also use this format to assign users to multiple organizations. For example, to add a user to the "backend" team in the "moby" organization and the "desktop" team in the "whale" organization, the group names would be `moby:backend` and `whale:desktop`.
 
-You can use this format to add a user to multiple organizations. For example, if you want to add a user to the "backend" team in the "moby" organization as well as the "desktop" team in the "whale" organization, the format would be: `moby:backend` and `whale:desktop`.
