Enterprise policies

With enterprise policies, you can manage the policies for all the organizations owned by your enterprise.

What are enterprise policies and why are they important?

To help you enforce business rules and regulatory compliance, policies provide a single point of management for all the organizations owned by an enterprise account.

Jede Unternehmensrichtlinie steuert die Optionen, die für eine Richtlinie auf Organisationsebene verfügbar sind. Du kannst wählen, eine Richtlinie nicht zu erzwingen, was den Besitzern der Organisation erlaubt, die Richtlinie für die Organisation zu konfigurieren, oder du kannst aus einer Reihe von Optionen zum Erzwingen für alle Organisationen deines Unternehmens wählen.

For example, with the "Base permissions" policy, you can allow organization owners to configure the "Base permissions" policy for their organization, or you can enforce a specific base permissions level, such as "Read", for all organizations within the enterprise.

What are the steps to enforce enterprise policies?

By default, no enterprise policies are enforced. To identify policies that should be enforced to meet the unique requirements of your business, we recommend reviewing all the available policies in your enterprise account, starting with repository management policies.

While you're configuring enterprise policies, to help you understand the impact of changing each policy, you can view the current configurations for the organizations owned by your enterprise.

For a full list of repository management policies, see Erzwingen von Repositoryverwaltungsrichtlinien in einem Unternehmen.

Another way to enforce standards within your enterprise is to use pre-receive hooks, which are scripts that run on Ihre GitHub Enterprise Server-Instance to implement quality checks. For more information, see Erzwingen einer Richtlinie mit Pre-Receive-Hooks.
