## Enabling AI-powered generic secret detection for your repository
|
|
|
|
To use generic secret detection, an enterprise owner must first set a policy at the enterprise level that controls whether repositories can enable or disable AI detection. This policy is set to "allowed" by default.
|
|
|
|
You can then enable the feature in the "Code security and analysis" settings page of your repository.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %}
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings %}
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-code-security-and-analysis %}
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-ghas-settings %}
|
|
1. Under "Secret scanning", select the checkbox next to "Use AI detection to find additional secrets".
