Enterprise owners can now discover and manage repositories owned by Enterprise Managed Users [General Availability]

The ability to allow enterprise administrators to see and manage repositories in the user namespace of Enterprise Managed Users (EMU) is now generally available. This feature set increases visibility of user-owned repositories to administrators while also empowering administrators to control these repositories as needed.

All repositories in any enterprise user’s account (for example https://github.com/mona_tenantName/scratch) can now be navigated to from the Repositories enterprise policies page: https://github.com/enterprises/<enterprise>/settings/member_privileges. From this new view, administrators can temporarily grant themselves administrative rights to these repositories. This action will trigger alerts to the repository owner as well as audit log events. The access automatically expires after two hours.

This feature is also supported by our GraphQL APIs:

• To identify a list of user namespace repositories in your enterprise; and
• To temporarily access a user namespace repository within your enterprise.
