Changes
Context
We're getting more questions about the security and privacy implications of installing Renovate into a repository or organization lately. For example:
I guess many users do not find the Security and Permissions page that explains the how and why. The page is a bit hidden in the
All Other
collapsed sidebar entry.Maybe adding a short reference in the onboarding/installing part of the docs helps users actually read the page. But that supposes that users will read the installation instructions before installing the bot. 🙃
Maybe we should also move the Security and Permissions page so it has its own entry? That way you can see it when just "browsing" the sidebar.
