Deciding on Authorization Methods for GitHub with Git for Confluence

Git for Confluence streamlines accessing and displaying private GitHub repositories within Confluence, offering two authorization methods tailored to different needs: Individual Access (OAuth 2.0) and Managed Access (Token).

• Individual Access (OAuth 2.0): Users log in with their GitHub accounts via OAuth 2.0 to share private GitHub repositories on Confluence pages. This user-centric approach facilitates easy access and sharing.
• Managed Access (Token): A centralized method where admins set up a global access token for Confluence to fetch content from GitHub repositories. It ensures controlled access and stable sharing, with shared GitHub content remaining accessible in Confluence as long as the token has access, unaffected by individual user account changes. Admins also manage which Confluence user groups can share private GitHub resources, aligning with internal security policies.
