Easier organization and increased scalability for repository administrators
Blog post from GitHub
Repository administrators have a range of responsibilities, including managing access for organization members, outside collaborators, and teams, which has been simplified with a redesigned access page. The new design introduces a search bar and consolidates the Teams and Collaborators sections, allowing admins to filter by member type and manage access more efficiently. Understanding how permissions are inherited has been improved with a mixed roles warning that clarifies if a user's permission level exceeds their assigned role. Additionally, scalability issues have been addressed by introducing pagination, reducing timeouts by about 45% for repositories with large numbers of collaborators. The changes aim to enhance the admin experience by making access management more intuitive, efficient, and scalable, with updates visible when logging into a repository with admin privileges.
