FAQs
Who has access to a connected GitHub account?
GitHub accounts are connected at the user level. Only the user who connected their GitHub account can see the repos and the files they contain within zeroheight. Other users within a team will only be able to see files that have been added to zeroheight somewhere.
What GitHub accounts does zeroheight support?
zeroheight supports free, Pro, and Team GitHub accounts. At this time we support GitHub Enterprise Cloud accounts but do not support self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server accounts.
If I connect my GitHub account to zeroheight, how is it secured?
We use an OAuth GitHub app and limited scopes to enable the integration to function. We do not display the integration token on the front end.
What happens if I connect the repo and then I’m no longer part of the zeroheight account?
When you connect GitHub to your account, it’s only connected to your zeroheight account. If your zeroheight account is deleted, the GitHub connection is made redundant.
