Version 4.0.25.16
Get the SAML configuration.
Looker can be optionally configured to authenticate users against a SAML authentication server. SAML setup requires coordination with an administrator of that server.
Only Looker administrators can read and update the SAML configuration.
Configuring SAML impacts authentication for all users. This configuration should be done carefully.
Looker maintains a single SAML configuration. It can be read and updated. Updates only succeed if the new state will be valid (in the sense that all required fields are populated); it is up to you to ensure that the configuration is appropriate and correct).
SAML is enabled or disabled for Looker using the enabled field.
Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).

new_user_migration_types
Merge first-time saml login to existing user account by email addresses. When a user logs in for the first time via saml this option will connect this user into their existing account by finding the account with a matching email address by testing the given types of credentials for existing users. Otherwise a new user account will be created for the user. This list (if provided) must be a comma separated list of string like 'email,ldap,google'
alternate_email_login_allowed
Allow alternate email-based login via '/login/email' for admins and for specified users with the 'login_special_email' permission. This option is useful as a fallback during ldap setup, if ldap config problems occur later, or if you need to support some users who are not in your ldap directory. Looker email/password logins are always disabled for regular users when ldap is enabled.
