Inviting people to manage your enterprise

You can invite people to become enterprise owners or billing managers for your enterprise account. You can also remove enterprise owners or billing managers who no longer need access to the enterprise account.

Enterprise owners can invite other people to become additional enterprise administrators.

Enterprise accounts are available with GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information, see "About enterprise accounts."

About users who can manage your enterprise account

Currently, there are two administrative roles available in enterprises: enterprise owners, who can access and manage all settings across the enterprise, and billing managers, who can access and manage only the enterprise's billing settings. Enterprise owners can also see all of the members and outside collaborators for every organization owned by the enterprise. For more information, see "Roles in an enterprise."

Tip: For more information on managing users within an organization owned by your enterprise account, see "Managing membership in your organization" and "Managing people's access to your organization with roles."
