| Question One: Which of the following is a core responsibility of a GitHub administrator? An organization's user management and repository access control fall under the purview of a GitHub administrator. Assigning roles, modifying team permissions, and making sure security settings are correct are all part of this. It is the responsibility of developers, not administrators, to write code or approve pull requests. Question Two:What is the main advantage of enabling SAML SSO for a GitHub organization? With SAML Single Sign-On (SSO), users can sign in with their corporate credentials that are controlled by an external identity provider (such as Azure AD or Okta). Because access is controlled uniformly across all company apps, this centralizes authentication and enhances security. Question Three: What is a benefit of using teams within a GitHub organization to manage access? By combining users into groups and allocating read, write, and admin permissions collectively rather than individually, teams make access management easier. This guarantees uniform access control across several repositories and is effective. Question Four: How can an administrator determine license usage for a specific organization within an enterprise account? Administrators may view license consumption, active users, and seat utilization across enterprises using the reporting and analytics dashboards that GitHub Enterprise offers. Without the need for support requests or manual checks, this visibility aids in monitoring and optimizing license use. Question Five: When adjusting enterprise policies, what should administrators align with to ensure proper trust and control? Access rules, audit settings, and authentication procedures are examples of enterprise-wide GitHub policies that ought to be in line with the company's overall security and compliance plan. Consistency, risk reduction, and compliance with internal and external requirements are therefore guaranteed. Question Six: Which source provides information about the number of consumed seats in a GitHub Enterprise account? GitHub Enterprise's license use dashboard provides up-to-date information on the number of user seats that are pending, available, and occupied. It is the most reliable and official method of tracking licensing data, which aids in compliance and budget management. |
