GitHub Foundations — Question 5

Which of the following is the best way for an enterprise to prevent certain marketplace actions from running?

Answer options

• A. Create a list of the actions that are restricted from being used as an enterprise policy. Every other action can be run.
• B. It is not possible; if an action is in the marketplace, its use cannot be restricted.
• C. Create a list that is maintained as a . yml file in a . github repository specified in the enterprise. Only these actions can be run.
• D. Create a list of the actions that are allowed to run as an enterprise policy. Only these actions can be run.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it specifies that only the actions that are explicitly allowed will be executed, thus providing a clear framework for control. Option A incorrectly allows all other actions, which does not effectively restrict usage. Option B is incorrect as there are ways to limit actions in the marketplace. Option C suggests a method but does not focus on restricting to allowed actions, making it less effective than D.
