REST API endpoints for enterprise credential authorizations

Use the REST API to manage enterprise credential authorizations.

Revoke all credential authorizations for an enterprise

Revokes all credential authorizations for all organizations within the enterprise. This includes any guest, outside, or repository collaborators.

For Enterprise Managed User (EMU) enterprises, you can optionally also destroy all credentials (PATs v1, PATs v2, and SSH keys) owned by enterprise members by setting the revoke_credentials parameter to true.

This operation is performed asynchronously. A background job will be queued to process the revocations.

Warning

If you use a personal access token to call this endpoint, that token may also be revoked or destroyed as part of this operation.

The authenticated user must be an enterprise owner or have the write_enterprise_credentials permission to use this endpoint.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the admin:enterprise scope to use this endpoint.
