Incidents will now post in Community Discussions

We will now post updates and status interruptions in real-time on GitHub Community. We understand that no product is perfect, and there will be times when unsuspected degradations or outages occur. To make information as open and accessible as possible, any incident that occurs and is on our GitHub status page will have a corresponding discussion post on GitHub Community.

This will give you a centralized thread in Community Discussions for you to share your experiences and find up to date information as it impacts your work.

What can you expect?

  • If an incident occurs and is on our GitHub status page, a discussion will post declaring the incident in the community
  • The ability to subscribe to an open incident discussion for real-time updates
  • Subsequent updates to post on the incident’s discussion thread
  • When an incident is resolved, you will see a marked answer and an image indicating the incident is resolved
  • If available, a link to the public incident summary

Questions or feedback? We want to hear from you! Join our Community discussion to share.

Notice of breaking changes: Security manager REST API will be retired and replaced with the organization roles REST API

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve flexibility and control for managing the security manager role, we are retiring the security manager API and replacing it with the more robust organization roles API, which provides expanded functionality for managing roles in an organization, including security managers.

Endpoints Affected

The following security manager endpoints will be retired in 12 months:

  • GET /orgs/{org}/security-managers/teams
  • PUT /orgs/{org}/security-managers/teams/{team_slug}
  • DELETE /orgs/{org}/security-managers/teams/{team_slug}

After this period, these endpoints will no longer be available. Instead, you can use the organization roles API to perform the same actions and much more.

Retirement Timeline

  • GitHub.com: 2025-12-31
  • GitHub Enterprise Server: Version 3.20

Replacements

The organization roles API offers enhanced capabilities for managing roles across an organization. Use the following endpoint as a replacement:

  • GET /orgs/{org}/roles
  • GET /orgs/{org}/roles/{role_id}/teams
  • PUT /orgs/{org}/roles/{role_id}/teams/{team_slug}
  • DELETE /orgs/{org}/roles/{role_id}/teams/{team_slug}

You can start transitioning to the organization roles API today on GitHub.com. For GitHub Enterprise Server users, the organization roles API will support the security manager role starting in version 3.16.
