Enterprise-grade Data Security
For Enterprise users, we offer enterprise-grade protections and compliance including SOC 2 Type II certification, end-to-end encryption, strict data privacy measures, and granular user access controls. Your repositories and other Github data, just like any other Enterprise data, are never used for AI training, and robust safeguards ensure confidentiality and regulatory compliance. You can learn more in our Trust Center.
Connecting Perplexity to your Github account is done at a personal level. This means that no one else in your organization is able to query your Github repositories. However, if you query them on a shared Thread, anyone with access to the Thread will be able to see the responses.
To maintain control over how Perplexity interacts with Github, organization admins can enable or disable the connector for all organization users.
How to activate it
To activate the Github Connector:
Go to Connectors in Settings and locate the Github Connector on the list.
Click Enable.
You will then be prompted to log in to Github to grant some permissions to the connector. These will allow the connector to have visibility of your repositories and account data, and perform actions on your behalf in Github. Click Authorize to start using Perplexity with Github.
If you can’t enable the Github Connector on your account, an admin may not have enabled it for your organization. You can request your organization admin to enable it for your organization as part of the authentication step.
If it’s enabled for your organization but you still experience issues, contact us.
