Summary

In January 2023, Socket for GitHub announced a new permission requirement for its users, specifically targeting GitHub organization admins. The app now requires the "Members" permission to access organization member lists, facilitating accurate representation in its dashboard and streamlining member onboarding. Concurrently, Socket has removed the "Single file" permission, which is no longer necessary, while maintaining its policy of only reading package manifest files without transmitting source code to its servers. Organization admins will receive an email regarding this update and are encouraged to review and accept the new permissions. For any queries, users can contact Socket support for assistance.
