A Complete Guide: Enterprise Managed Users vs Bring Your Own Users on GitHub

What's this blog post about?

This article discusses the trade-offs between managing GitHub users as individual users or enterprise managed users. Individual users provide flexibility, code attribution, and open-source engagement but lack centralized control by enterprises and may pose security risks. On the other hand, managed users offer enhanced security, access management, and privacy controls but may be perceived as developer-unfriendly in some cases. Striking a balance between developer-friendly practices and robust security is crucial, and organizations should carefully evaluate their specific needs and priorities when deciding on a user management strategy for GitHub.
