{% data reusables.billing.about-billing %} For organizations and enterprises, the "plan" component of the bill is based on the number of licensed seats you use.
|
|
|
|
## Organizations on {% data variables.product.prodname_team %}
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.github %} bills for the following people:
|
|
|
|
* Organization members, including owners
|
|
* Outside collaborators on private repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
|
|
* {% data variables.product.company_short %} counts each outside collaborator once, even if the user account has access to multiple repositories in your organization.
|
|
* Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on private repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
|
|
* Inviting an outside collaborator to a repository using their email address temporarily uses an available seat, even if they already have access to other repositories. After they accept the invite, the seat will be freed up again. Inviting them using their username does not temporarily use a seat.
|
|
* Dormant users
|
|
|
|
### People who don't consume a license
|
|
|
|
* Billing managers
|
|
* Anyone with a pending invitation to become a billing manager
|
|
* Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on a public repository owned by your organization
|
|
|
|
## Organizations on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise-managed.repo-collaborators-note %}
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for each of the following accounts on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}:
|
|
|
|
* Enterprise owners who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise
|
|
* Organization members, including owners
|
|
* Outside collaborators on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
|
|
* {% data variables.product.company_short %} counts each outside collaborator once, even if the user account has access to multiple repositories in your organization.
|
|
* Dormant users who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise
|
|
|
|
If your enterprise does not use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, you will also be billed for each of the following accounts:
|
|
|
|
* Anyone with a pending invitation to become an organization owner or member
|
|
* Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
|
|
* {% data reusables.organizations.org-invite-scim %}
|
|
* Inviting an outside collaborator to a repository using their email address temporarily uses an available seat, even if they already have access to other repositories. After they accept the invite, the seat will be freed up again. Inviting them using their username does not temporarily use a seat.
|
|
|
|

|
|
