+## About collaboration in a personal repository
+
+You can collaborate with others on repositories you own by inviting them as collaborators. Collaborators have access to contribute to your code and manage issues and pull requests.
+
+{% ifversion ghec %}
+
+If you're a member of an {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}, you can only invite other members of your enterprise to collaborate with you. {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.emu-more-info-account %}
+
+{% endif %}
+
+To add a collaborator, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/how-tos/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/inviting-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository).
+
+{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
+
+{% data reusables.repositories.private_forks_inherit_permissions %}
+
+## About successors
+
+We recommend inviting another {% data variables.product.company_short %} user to be your successor, to manage your user owned repositories if you cannot. As a successor, they will have permission to:
+
+* Archive your public repositories.
+* Transfer your public repositories to their own user owned account.
+* Transfer your public repositories to an organization where they can create repositories.
+
+Successors cannot log into your account.
+
+An appointed successor can manage your public repositories after presenting a death certificate then waiting for 7 days or presenting an obituary then waiting for 21 days. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/free-pro-team@latest/site-policy/other-site-policies/github-deceased-user-policy).
+
+To request access to manage repositories as a successor, please contact us through the {% data variables.contact.contact_support_portal %}.
