feature

Enterprises can now install public GitHub Apps created by third parties directly onto their enterprise accounts. This enables third-party integrators to build apps for enterprise management, offering powerful controls across organizations within an enterprise. While initially limited to within enterprise boundaries for security, this feature aims to streamline enterprise-level app management for developers and administrators.

  • Third-party GitHub Apps can be installed on enterprise accounts

    Enterprise owners can now install public GitHub Apps developed by third parties on their enterprise account. This allows integration of external apps for enterprise management scenarios, granting access to the enterprise account itself, but not to specific organizations or repositories.

  • GitHub Apps can be created with enterprise permissions

    To support third-party integrators, users and organizations can now create GitHub Apps with enterprise permissions. This capability enables apps to manage installations across all organizations within an enterprise.

Notes (1) ›
  • Security safeguards for cross-enterprise app installations

    Apps with 'Enterprise organization installations' and 'Enterprise organization installation repositories' permissions are restricted from being installed across enterprise boundaries. This is a security measure due to the powerful nature of managing app installations across multiple enterprises.
