Required permissions

GitProtect supports backup and restore for GitHub Enterprise Cloud deployments that are separated from the main GitHub environment (for example, your-org.ghe.com). You can integrate isolated GitHub Enterprise Cloud instances as GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency.

Account

The application requires the following permissions to log into your account:

• Personal User Data — email addresses (read-only) and profile information (read-only).

• Repositories — access to public and private repositories.

• Code — includes issues, pull requests, wikis, settings, webhooks and services, deploy keys, collaboration invites, workflows, and updating GitHub Action workflow files.

Personal Access Token (PAT)

The minimum authorization permission required for the token to register the GitProtect application and perform repository backup or restore is repo.

You can generate a personal access token in the Tokens tab of your GitHub Enterprise account.

With minimal privileges, certain metadata may not be included in the backup process. Select the necessary permissions based on the specific data you need to protect.
