adding note about team sync

[sukoonmusic]

👋🏽

Why:

While working through these instructions and setting up our Okta instance with GitHub, we found that the IdP group assignment option does not appear for teams that have a child team assigned. here is a screenshot of the option that is not available for parent teams:

@sukoonmusic Thanks so much for opening a PR! I'll get this triaged for review :zap:

Thanks @sukoonmusic, and nice to see a familiar face! 😊 I'm just going to confirm with the team that this is expected behavior and will review your PR after I hear back from them. 🙇🏻‍♀️

Whoops... I actually just realized we already document this limitation earlier in the article:

Parent teams cannot synchronize with IdP groups. If the team you want to connect to an IdP group is a parent team, we recommend creating a new team or removing the nested relationships that make your team a parent team. For more information, see "About teams," "Creating a team," and "Moving a team in your organization's hierarchy."

Do you think that information would have been more discoverable for you if we had a dedicated section about requirements and limitations for groups? It could also include these Iines from the article:

You can connect up to five IdP groups to a GitHub Enterprise Cloud team. You can assign an IdP group to multiple GitHub Enterprise Cloud teams.

Team synchronization does not support IdP groups with more than 5000 members.

If so, feel free to update your PR accordingly! Otherwise feel free to close. 😊
