User security
Ensure that your GitHub Enterprise Server users are safe. You can audit their security settings or enforce best practices across your instance.
Best practices for user security→
Outside of instance-level security measures (SSL, subdomain isolation, configuring a firewall) that a site administrator can implement, there are steps your users can take to help protect your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.
Requiring two-factor authentication for an organization→
You can require organization members and outside collaborators to enable two-factor authentication for their personal accounts in an organization, making it harder for malicious actors to access an organization's repositories and settings.
Managing dormant users→
A user account is considered to be dormant if it has not been active for at least a month. You may choose to suspend dormant users to free up user licenses.
Auditing users across your instance→
The GitHub Enterprise Server audit log dashboard shows site administrators the actions performed by all users and organizations across your GitHub Enterprise Server instance within the past 90 days. It includes details such as who performed the action, what the action was, and when it was performed.
Suspending and unsuspending users→
If a user leaves or moves to a different part of the company, you should remove or modify their ability to access your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.
Auditing SSH keys→
Site administrators can initiate an instance-wide audit of SSH keys.
