]Convert an organization member to outside collaborator
When an organization member is converted to an outside collaborator, they'll only have access to the repositories that their current team membership allows. The user will no longer be a member of the organization. For more information, see "Converting an organization member to an outside collaborator". Converting an organization member to an outside collaborator may be restricted by enterprise administrators. For more information, see "Enforcing repository management policies in your enterprise."
