Review your authorizations

About authorized {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %}

You may authorize a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} to give the app permission to access information on your {% data variables.product.company_short %} account and to act on your behalf. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

You should periodically review the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} that you have authorized. If you no longer use an app, consider revoking your authorization for that app.

The authorization can only be revoked by the person who authorized the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. Organization{% ifversion enterprise-installed-apps %} and enterprise{% endif %} owners cannot revoke {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} authorizations for their members. However, organization{% ifversion enterprise-installed-apps %} and enterprise{% endif %} owners can uninstall the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} from the account, which will prevent the app from accessing resources in that account. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
