Suspending a GitHub App
The integrator who owns and maintains a GitHub app, also called a GitHub App owner, can suspend or unsuspend a GitHub App installation using REST API endpoints with a JWT. For more information, see the GitHub Apps REST API.
People who have installed a GitHub App, also called installation owners, can only suspend or unsuspend a GitHub App through their app's installation settings. Installation owners cannot use the API to suspend or unsuspend their app installation.
Note that if an installation has been suspended by the GitHub App owner, then the option to unsuspend the installation is removed from the installation owner's app's settings and thus they will not be able to unsuspend it on their own. They can still change other settings (e.g., repository selection) while the app is suspended.
{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.developer_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps %}
- Select the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} you want to suspend.
{% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps_advanced %} - Next to the suspension settings for the installation, click Suspend or Unsuspend.
