The actions you can take in the security overview depend on your permissions for the repositories in your organization or enterprise.
Organization-level overview
If you are an owner or security manager for an organization, you can see data for all the repositories in the organization in all views.
If you are an organization or team member, you can view security overview for the organization and see data for repositories where you have an appropriate level of access.

Note
To ensure a consistent and responsive experience, for organization members, the organization-level security overview pages will only display results from the most recently updated 3,000 repositories. If your results have been restricted, a notification will appear at the top of the page. Organization owners and security managers will see results from all repositories.
For more information about access to security alerts and related views, see Managing security and analysis settings for your repository and About custom repository roles.
Enterprise-level overview
Note
If you are an enterprise owner, you will need to join an organization as an organization owner to view data for the organization's repositories in both the organization-level and enterprise-level overview. Only people with admin permissions to the repository containing a leaked secret can view security alert details and token metadata for an alert. Enterprise owners can request temporary access to the repository for this purpose. For more information, see Managing your role in an organization owned by your enterprise.
In the enterprise-level security overview, you can see data for all organizations where you are an organization owner or security manager.
