Users in an enterprise have roles for the enterprise and for organizations where they have access. For more information, see About roles in an enterprise.
Assigning enterprise roles
If you use an enterprise with personal accounts:
- People become enterprise members when they are added as a member or owner of an organization. See Inviting users to join your organization.
- You can invite someone to become an enterprise owner or billing manager. See Inviting people to manage your enterprise.
- You can add people as unaffiliated users without adding them to the enterprise. See Inviting users to your enterprise directly.
If you use an enterprise with managed users:
- You must provision all users through your identity provider (IdP).
- You select each user's enterprise role using your IdP. The role cannot be changed on GitHub.
- To assign the guest collaborator role, you may need to update your IdP.
Assigning organization roles
Organization administrators can assign roles to users and teams in their organization. See Using organization roles.
