Manage temporary codebase and admin access via GitHub Teams

Learn about the Indent + GitHub integration

GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration that simplifies building, scaling, and delivering secure software.

Indent’s GitHub integration provides a way to give auto-expiring GitHub Team membership so you can dynamically manage user permissions within your organization.

With Indent for GitHub, you can:

  • Grant temporary admin or branch rule bypass privileges
  • Request team membership via Slack (using /access command)
  • Approve requests and set durations from Slack, web, or email
  • Log who had which permissions, for how long, and why
  • Auto-expire permissions and revoke team membership but provide fast turnaround for access renewal
