Which statement best describes the default access permissions for a private code repository hosted on a cloud-based source-control platform such as GitHub or GitLab?
Organization administrators are excluded from the repository unless they are manually added as collaborators.
Any authenticated user on the platform can clone the repository but cannot push code.
Anonymous internet users can open pull requests but cannot clone the repository.
Only users who have been explicitly granted access can clone or push code to the repository.
In a private repository, only users who have been explicitly granted at least read access (for example, through direct invitation or team membership) can clone, pull, or push code. The repository's content and history remain invisible to everyone else on the platform, including anonymous visitors or authenticated users who have not been granted access. Organization owners or administrators always retain access, but other organization members must still be added individually or via a team before they can interact with the repository.
