About additional settings for {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %}

There are some additional {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %} settings that cannot be applied to repositories using {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configurations %}, so you must configure these settings separately:

• Configuring a resource link for push protection{% ifversion secret-scanning-ai-generic-secret-detection %}
• Configuring AI detection to find additional secrets{% endif %}

These additional settings only apply to repositories with {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %} enabled and {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %}{% ifversion ghas-products %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_secret_protection %}{% endif %}.

Accessing the additional settings for {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %}

{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.settings-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.advanced-security-tab %}

1. Scroll down the page to the "Additional settings" section.

Configuring a resource link for push protection

2. In the text box, type the link to the desired resource, then click {% octicon "check" aria-label="Save" %}.

{% ifversion secret-scanning-ai-generic-secret-detection %}

Configuring AI detection to find additional secrets

{% data variables.secret-scanning.copilot-secret-scanning %}'s {% data variables.secret-scanning.generic-secret-detection %} is an AI-powered expansion of {% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning %} that scans and creates alerts for unstructured secrets, such as passwords.
