About your GitHub account
Your account is the foundation of your GitHub identity. It controls your access to repositories, organizations, and GitHub features, and manages your personal settings and preferences.
About verwaltete Benutzerkonten
If you're a member of an Unternehmen mit verwalteten Benutzer*innen, your account is a verwaltetes Benutzerkonto. Verwaltete Benutzerkonten are provisioned and managed by your enterprise through your identity provider. These accounts have different capabilities and restrictions compared to standard personal accounts.
