For a timely response to security incidents involving compromised accounts or stolen credentials, GitHub Enterprise owners can now use new “break-glass” capabilities to instantly revoke all credentials for a given user. This builds on the enterprise-wide credential management tools for incident response released earlier.

With this release, enterprise owners and members with the fine-grained permission Manage enterprise credentials can trigger the following bulk actions for all users or for a specific user in their enterprise:

  • Revoke SSO authorizations for user credentials (personal access tokens, SSH keys, and OAuth tokens) across your enterprise.
  • Delete user tokens and SSH keys across your enterprise, even if they don’t have an SSO authorization. This action is available only for EMU accounts.
  • List and revoke SSO authorizations for user credentials across a specific organization. These actions are only supported programmatically through the org-level rest APIs.

Additionally, we have introduced a new self-service revocation experience for individual enterprise members as part of Settings -> Credentials view, which enables you to:

  • Review counts of credentials that are generated or authorized via SSO by your personal account.
  • Self-service revoke or delete all of your credentials and authorizations in a single action without going token-by-token or key-by-key.

Enterprise owners and affected users can review details about revoked and deleted credentials via audit logs and email notifications generated by each of the new actions above.
