Why should you restrict GitHub App installation to organization owners in your GitHub organization

GitHub is a collaborative platform designed for developers to store and manage code projects efficiently.

Restricting GitHub App installation to organization owners within your GitHub organization enhances governance and security by ensuring only verified personnel have the authority to introduce new tools to the workspace.

This feature is vital because it prevents unauthorized access and mitigates potential risks, making your organization's workflow more streamlined and secure.

Empowering organization owners with this control fosters a more robust security posture while maintaining the effectiveness of project management tools.
