Site admin dashboard

You can use the site admin dashboard to manage users, organizations, and repositories in your enterprise directly in GitHub Enterprise Server.

In this article

To access the dashboard, in the upper-right corner of any page, click . Rocket ship icon for accessing site admin settings

Refer to this section of the site admin dashboard to check your current GitHub Enterprise license; to search for users and repositories; and to query the audit log.

Management Console

Here you can launch the Management Console to manage virtual appliance settings such as the domain, authentication, and SSL.

Explore

Data for GitHub's trending page is calculated into daily, weekly, and monthly time spans for both repositories and developers. You can see when this data was last cached and queue up new trending calculation jobs from the Explore section.

Audit log

GitHub Enterprise keeps a running log of audited actions that you can query.

By default, the audit log shows you a list of all audited actions in reverse chronological order. You can filter this list by entering key-value pairs in the Query text box and then clicking Search, as explained in "Searching the audit log."

For more information on audit logging in general, see "Audit logging." For a full list of audited actions, see "Audited actions."

Reports

If you need to get information on the users, organizations, and repositories in your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, you would ordinarily fetch JSON data through the GitHub API. Unfortunately, the API may not provide all of the data that you want and it requires a bit of technical expertise to use. The site admin dashboard offers a Reports section as an alternative, making it easy for you to download CSV reports with most of the information that you are likely to need for users, organizations, and repositories.

Specifically, you can download CSV reports that list

  • all users
  • all users who have been active within the last month
  • all users who have been inactive for one month or more
  • all users who have been suspended
  • all organizations
  • all repositories

You can also access these reports programmatically via standard HTTP authentication with a site admin account. You must use a personal access token with the site_admin scope. For more information, see "Creating a personal access token."

For example, here is how you would download the "all users" report using cURL:

curl -L -u username:token http(s)://hostname/stafftools/reports/all_users.csv

To access the other reports programmatically, replace all_users with active_users, dormant_users, suspended_users, all_organizations, or all_repositories.

Note: The initial curl request will return a 202 HTTP response if there are no cached reports available; a report will be generated in the background. You can send a second request to download the report. You can use a password or an OAuth token with the site_admin scope in place of a password.
