About management of security and analysis settings

GitHub can help you to secure the repositories in your organization. You can manage the security and analysis features for all existing or new repositories that members create in your organization.

If your organization is owned by an enterprise with a license for GitHub Advanced Security, then extra options for managing security and analysis settings may be available. For more information, see "Managing GitHub Advanced Security features for your enterprise."

Displaying the security and analysis settings

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations**.
2. Next to the organization, click Settings.
3. In the "Security" section of the sidebar, click Code security and analysis.

The page that's displayed allows you to enable or disable all security and analysis features for the repositories in your organization.

If you have a license for GitHub Advanced Security, the page will also contain options to enable and disable Advanced Security features. Any repositories that use GitHub Advanced Security are listed at the bottom of the page.

Enabling or disabling a feature for all existing repositories

You can enable or disable features for all repositories.

You can use security overview to find a set of repositories and enable or disable security features for them all at the same time. For more information, see "Enabling security features for multiple repositories."

1. Go to the security and analysis settings for your organization. For more information, see "Displaying the security and analysis settings."

2. Under "Code security and analysis", to the right of the feature, click Disable all or Enable all to display a confirmation dialog box. The control for "GitHub Advanced Security" is disabled if you have no available licenses for GitHub Advanced Security.

3. Review the information in the dialog box.

4. Optionally, if you are enabling private vulnerability reporting, dependency graph, or Dependabot, select Enable by default for new repositories.

   

5. When you are ready to make the changes, click Disable FEATURE or Enable FEATURE to disable or enable the feature for all the repositories in your organization.

6. Optionally, in your feature's section of the security and analysis settings, select additional enablement settings. Additional enablement settings may include:

   • Automatic enablement for a specific type of repository

   • Feature-specific settings, such as recommending the extended query suite for code scanning default setup throughout your organization, or automatic secret validation for secret scanning

   Note

   • If you disable CodeQL code scanning for all repositories this change is not reflected in the coverage information shown in security overview for the organization. The repositories will still appear to have code scanning enabled in the "Security Coverage" view.

When you enable one or more security and analysis features for existing repositories, you will see any results displayed on GitHub within minutes:

• All the existing repositories will have the selected configuration.
• New repositories will follow the selected configuration if you've enabled the checkbox for new repositories.
• We use the permissions to scan for manifest files to apply the relevant services.
• If enabled, you'll see dependency information in the dependency graph.
• If enabled, GitHub will generate Dependabot alerts for vulnerable dependencies or malware.
• If enabled, Dependabot security updates will create pull requests to upgrade vulnerable dependencies when Dependabot alerts are triggered.

Enabling or disabling a feature automatically when new repositories are added

1. Go to the security and analysis settings for your organization. For more information, see "Displaying the security and analysis settings."
2. Under "Code security and analysis", locate the feature, enable or disable the feature by default for new repositories in your organization.

Allowing Dependabot to access private or internal dependencies

Dependabot can check for outdated dependency references in a project and automatically generate a pull request to update them. To do this, Dependabot must have access to all of the targeted dependency files. Typically, version updates will fail if one or more dependencies are inaccessible. For more information, see "About Dependabot version updates."

By default, Dependabot can't update dependencies that are located in private or internal repositories, or private or internal package registries. However, if a dependency is in a private or internal GitHub repository within the same organization as the project that uses that dependency, you can allow Dependabot to update the version successfully by giving it access to the host repository.

If your code depends on packages in a private or internal registry, you can allow Dependabot to update the versions of these dependencies by configuring this at the repository level. You do this by adding authentication details to the dependabot.yml file for the repository. For more information, see "Configuration options for the dependabot.yml file."

To allow Dependabot to access a private or internal GitHub repository:

1. Go to the security and analysis settings for your organization. For more information, see "Displaying the security and analysis settings."

2. Under "Grant Dependabot private repository access", click Add internal and private repositories to display a repository search field.

   

3. Start typing the name of the repository you want to grant Dependabot access to.

4. A list of matching repositories in the organization is displayed, click the repository you want to allow access to and this adds the repository to the allowed list.

5. Optionally, to remove a repository from the list, to the right of the repository, click .

Removing access to GitHub Advanced Security from individual repositories in an organization

You can manage access to GitHub Advanced Security features for a repository from its "Settings" tab. For more information, see "Managing security and analysis settings for your repository." However, you can also disable GitHub Advanced Security features for a repository from the "Settings" tab for the organization.

1. Go to the security and analysis settings for your organization. For more information, see "Displaying the security and analysis settings."
2. To see a list of all the repositories in your organization with GitHub Advanced Security enabled, scroll to the "GitHub Advanced Security repositories" section.

The table lists the number of unique committers for each repository. This is the number of licenses you could free up by removing access to GitHub Advanced Security. For more information, see "About billing for GitHub Advanced Security."

1. To remove access to GitHub Advanced Security from a repository and free up licenses used by any active committers that are unique to the repository, click the adjacent .
2. In the confirmation dialog, click Remove repository to remove access to the features of GitHub Advanced Security.
