# GitHub sign-in and permissions in Confluence

GitHub for Confluence never shares one person's access with another. Each reader connects their own GitHub account and sees only what GitHub already lets them see. Public files need no connection at all, logged-out readers included.

These guides cover connecting, adding a second account and disconnecting.
