Some GitHub Apps are internal apps. These apps are owned by GitHub and are granted special capabilities. For example, users can authorize these apps and use them to access data from an organization without requiring approval by the organization.
Some of these internal apps are automatically included with GitHub and do not require user authorization. These apps will not appear in your list of authorized GitHub Apps or in your list of installed GitHub Apps.Enterprise Managed Users are allowed to install these internal apps on their user account, while standard, unprivileged apps cannot be installed on Enterprise Managed Users user accounts.
These internal apps will appear in the user security log, but will not appear in organization or enterprise audit logs. For more information, see Reviewing your security log, Reviewing the audit log for your organization, and About the audit log for your enterprise.
