There are 3 modules in this course

Master GitHub Enterprise administration across seven critical domains. You will configure identity management using SAML SSO and Enterprise Managed Users with identity providers like Azure Active Directory and Okta. You will enforce the principle of least privilege by setting access permissions at the enterprise, organization, team, and repository levels, assigning roles such as member, owner, maintainer, and triage to match each user's responsibilities.

The course covers security compliance through the security tab, dependency graphs, Dependabot alerts, and repository insights for monitoring project health. You will manage GitHub Actions at the enterprise scale using the Actions API to configure allowed actions, self-hosted runners, and workflow policies across organizations. You will also host and distribute software through GitHub Packages, including the container registry, RubyGems, npm, Maven, and NuGet registries. Each module includes hands-on demonstrations in the GitHub interface, from configuring organization settings and billing consoles to compiling Python from source in Codespaces. You will apply Kaizen continuous improvement methodology and the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to systematically optimize enterprise workflows.

Covers the GitHub administration console, Codespaces for MLOps, SAML SSO, Enterprise Managed Users, two-factor authentication, authentication layers, the principle of least privilege, and enterprise billing.

The course covers enterprise administration concepts that apply to both GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server, with demonstrations primarily using the cloud-hosted GitHub interface. The seven domains β€” from identity management to package registries β€” are relevant regardless of your deployment model.

The course covers the seven domains tested in GitHub enterprise administration certification. Each module maps to certification objectives including enterprise users and identity, access permissions and security compliance, and GitHub Actions and package management at enterprise scale.
