CodeCleared concepts
Understand CodeCleared organizations, repositories, project units, scans, scores, and credits.
Purpose
Use this glossary to interpret CodeCleared records and results.
Who
Anyone configuring, integrating, or reviewing CodeCleared.
Prerequisites
Access to an organization makes the examples easier to follow.
How it works
Open a term below before making decisions based on a result.
Business rules
Concepts describe product behavior; plan entitlements can still restrict an action.
Scenarios & edge cases
Different IDs: human repository names and internal IDs are not interchangeable. Monorepos: one repository can expose several project units.
Limits
Terminology does not replace your organization’s policy or approval process.
Common errors
- Assuming every repository has one project unit.
- Treating a score as a certification.
