QUESTION: 19

Universal Containers (UC) has configured SSO for their Heroku Enterprise Team using an identity provider (IdP).

The employee should create a new Heroku account with the exact email address listed in their IdP record.
No account creation is required, because all SSO users in a particular Enterprise Team are associated with a single Heroku account.
An administrator of the Enterprise Team creates the Heroku account with the exact email address listed in the employee's IdP record.
