Configuring delegated dismissal for a repository

[!NOTE] If an organization owner configures delegated alert dismissal via an enforced security configuration, the settings can't be changed at the repository level.

{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %} {% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings %} {% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-code-security-and-analysis %}{% ifversion ghas-products %}{% else %} {% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-ghas-settings %}{% endif %}

1. Under "{% data variables.product.UI_code_security_scanning %}", click Enable for "Prevent direct alert dismissals".

Configuring delegated dismissal for an organization

You must configure delegated dismissal for your organization using a custom security configuration. You can then apply the security configuration to all (or selected) repositories in your organization.

1. Create a new custom security configuration, or edit an existing one. See AUTOTITLE.
2. When creating the custom security configuration, under "{% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %}", set "Prevent direct alert dismissals" to Enabled.
3. Click Save configuration.
4. Apply the security configuration to all (or selected) repositories in your organization. See AUTOTITLE.

To learn more about security configurations, see AUTOTITLE.
