About detaching repositories from their {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configurations %}

If you decide that the security needs of a repository are too specific for a {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configuration %} to be useful, you can detach that repository from the linked configuration and instead manage security enablement settings at the repository level. Detaching a repository from a {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configuration %} will not change the existing security enablement settings for that repository. For an introduction to securing your repository at the repository level, see "AUTOTITLE."

Alternatively, if you want to apply a {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configuration %} to a repository that's already attached to a different configuration, you can apply the configuration as normal, and you do not need to detach the current configuration. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE" and "AUTOTITLE."
