GitHub Code Quality Enterprise Policy

GitHub has enhanced its enterprise policy controls by decoupling GitHub Code Quality from Code Security in Advanced Security policies. This change provides enterprise administrators with greater flexibility to manage which code quality features are available across their organization.

What Changed

The update includes two key improvements:

• Separate policy configuration: The Advanced Security enterprise policy settings no longer include Code Quality as a dependent feature, allowing you to enable or disable it independently from Code Security tooling.
• Dedicated Code Quality policy page: A new repository-level policy page is now available specifically for managing GitHub Code Quality, mirroring the familiar Advanced Security policy experience.

Why This Matters

Previously, enabling Code Security features would automatically make Code Quality available across repositories. This new separation allows organizations to:

• Granularly control Code Quality availability without unintentionally enabling broader Code Security features
• Manage Code Quality policies at the repository level, providing more targeted deployment options
• Maintain consistent policy management with a dedicated interface that follows existing Advanced Security policy patterns

Getting Started

Administrators can now configure Code Quality availability through the new dedicated policy settings. For detailed instructions, refer to the Code Quality enterprise configuration documentation.
