GitHub Enterprise: Self-service credential revocation for incident response

feature security

GitHub Enterprise owners can now instantly revoke all credentials for a given user to speed up incident response. This feature allows enterprise owners and specific members to revoke SSO authorizations and delete user tokens/SSH keys programmatically or through a new self-service portal for individual users. Enterprise members can also manage their own credentials via a new self-service experience. The changes aim to improve security incident response times and provide better control over enterprise credentials.

  • Revoke SSO authorizations for user credentials
  • Delete user tokens and SSH keys
  • Revoke SSO authorizations per organization via API
  • Self-service credential revocation for individual users
  • Audit logs and notifications for revoked credentials

  • Revoke SSO authorizations for user credentials

    Enterprise owners and members with 'Manage enterprise credentials' permission can revoke SSO authorizations for personal access tokens, SSH keys, and OAuth tokens across their enterprise for all users or a specific user.

  • Delete user tokens and SSH keys

    For EMU accounts, enterprise owners can delete user tokens and SSH keys across the enterprise, even if they are not SSO-authorized.

  • Revoke SSO authorizations per organization via API

    Users can list and revoke SSO authorizations for user credentials across a specific organization using organization-level REST APIs.

  • Self-service credential revocation for individual users

    Individual enterprise members can now review and self-service revoke or delete all their credentials and authorizations through the Settings -> Credentials view.

    Details about revoked and deleted credentials are available via audit logs and email notifications generated by the new actions. Documentation for incident response and GitHub credentials is also updated.
