   even if the project is forked.
 - For Git activity over SSH and HTTPS, users must have at least one active session signed-in through SSO before they can push to or
   pull from a GitLab repository.
+- Git activity originating from CI/CD jobs do not have the SSO check enforced.
 - Credentials that are not tied to regular users (for example, access tokens and deploy keys) do not have the SSO check enforced.
 - Users must be signed-in through SSO before they can pull images using the [Dependency Proxy](../../packages/dependency_proxy/index.md).
