## About push protection for users
|
|
|
|
With push protection for users, you can enable push protection for yourself, so that no matter which public repository you push to, you will be protected. Additionally, if you are a repository administrator, or an organization owner, you can enable push protection for your repository or organization, respectively. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/secret-scanning/push-protection-for-repositories-and-organizations)."
|
|
|
|
If push protection is not enabled for the repository you are pushing to, but you have push protection for yourself enabled, no alerts will be created after you push a secret. However, if the bypassed secret is a {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} token, the token will be revoked and you will be notified by email.
|
|
|
|
For information on the secrets and service providers supported for push protection, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/secret-scanning/secret-scanning-patterns#supported-secrets)."

|
|
