Organizations and teams documentation

You can more granularly control access to your organization's repositories with custom repository roles.

Teams are groups of organization members that reflect your company or group's structure with cascading access permissions and mentions.

Organizations are shared accounts where businesses and open-source projects can collaborate across many projects at once, with sophisticated security and administrative features.

As an organization owner, you can control access to your organization by personal access tokens, GitHub Apps, and OAuth apps.

With an SSH certificate authority, your organization or enterprise account can provide SSH certificates that members and outside collaborators can use to access your resources with Git.

As an organization member, you can visit your organization's dashboard throughout the day to stay updated on recent activity and keep track of issues and pull requests you're working on or following in the organization.

You can use your organization's news feed to keep up with recent activity on repositories owned by that organization.

The organization account settings page provides several ways to manage the account, such as billing, team membership, and repository settings.

As an organization owner or project (classic) admin, you can add an outside collaborator and customize their permissions to a project (classic).
