Using OAuth apps

You can connect your GitHub Enterprise Server identity to third-party applications using OAuth. When authorizing an OAuth app, you should ensure you trust the application, review who it's developed by, and review the kinds of information the application wants to access.

You should review your authorized applications to verify that no new applications with expansive permissions are authorized, such as those that have access to your private repositories.
