About GitHub Actions permissions for your repository
By default, after GitHub Actions is enabled on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, it is enabled on all repositories and organizations. You can choose to disable GitHub Actions or limit them to local actions only, which means that people can only use actions that exist in your repository. For more information about GitHub Actions, see "About GitHub Actions."
You can enable GitHub Actions for your repository. When you enable GitHub Actions, workflows are able to run actions located within your repository and any other public repository. You can disable GitHub Actions for your repository altogether. When you disable GitHub Actions, no workflows run in your repository.
Alternatively, you can enable GitHub Actions in your repository but limit the actions a workflow can run. When you enable local actions only, workflows can only run actions located in your repository, organization, or enterprise.
Managing GitHub Actions permissions for your repository
Note: You might not be able to manage these settings if your organization has an overriding policy or is managed by an enterprise that has overriding policy. For more information, see "Disabling or limiting GitHub Actions for your organization" or "Enforcing policies for GitHub Actions in your enterprise."
- On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
- Under your repository name, click
Settings.
- In the left sidebar, click Actions.
- Under "Actions permissions", select an option.
