Adding organizations to your enterprise account

You can create new organizations to manage within your enterprise account.

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

Enterprise owners can create new organizations within an enterprise account's settings.

To add an organization to your enterprise account, you must create the organization from within the enterprise account settings. If you want to transfer an existing organization to your enterprise account, contact your GitHub sales account representative.

Creating an organization in your enterprise account

New organizations you create within your enterprise account settings are included in your enterprise account's GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscription. For more information on collaborating in organizations, see "Setting up and managing organizations and teams."
