Troubleshoot security configurations
Identify and resolve issues with your security configurations by diagnosing common problems related to setup, coverage, and license availability.
A repository is using advanced setup for code scanning
You see an error when you try to attach a security configuration with default code scanning enabled to repositories that use advanced setup for code scanning.
Default setup for code scanning overrides advanced setup
You apply a security configuration with "Enabled with advanced setup allowed" and the existing advanced setup for code scanning is ignored in some repositories.
Finding and fixing configuration attachment failures
You can identify any repositories where the security configuration could not be attached, and follow guidance to remediate the problem.
