Who can use this feature?

The enhanced billing platform is available to:

  • All enterprise accounts, and their organizations, created after June 2, 2024

Inviting a billing manager

The invited person will receive an invitation email asking them to become a billing manager for your enterprise. Once the invited person clicks the accept link in their invitation email, they will automatically be added to the enterprise as a billing manager. If they don't already have a GitHub account, they will be directed to sign up for one, and they will be automatically added to the enterprise as a billing manager after they create an account.
