To accomplish this, organization owners can invite new members to an organization by email address. The subscriber can accept the invitation with an existing personal account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} or create a new account.

About licenses for {% data variables.visual_studio.prodname_vss_ghec %}

After you assign a license for {% data variables.visual_studio.prodname_vss_ghec %} to a subscriber, the subscriber will use the {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} portion of the license by joining an organization in your enterprise with a personal account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. If the verified email address for the personal account of an enterprise member on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} matches the User Principal Name (UPN) for a subscriber to your {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} account, the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} subscriber will automatically consume one license for {% data variables.visual_studio.prodname_vss_ghec %}.

{% note %}

Note: For {% data variables.product.prodname_emu %} only, to make sure a user account consumes a {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} license, ensure the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} UPN matches the SCIM userName attribute or the email address from the linked identity on the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} account.

{% endnote %}

The total quantity of your licenses for your enterprise on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} is the sum of any standard {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} licenses and the number of {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} subscription licenses that include access to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. If the personal account for an enterprise member does not correspond with the email address for a {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} subscriber, the license that the personal account consumes is unavailable for a {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} subscriber.

For more information about {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, see "AUTOTITLE." For more information about accounts on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, see "AUTOTITLE."

You can view the number of {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} licenses available to your enterprise on {% data variables.location.product_location %}. The list of pending invitations includes subscribers who are not yet members of at least one organization in your enterprise. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE" and "AUTOTITLE."

{% tip %}

Tip: If you download a CSV file with your enterprise's license usage in step 6 of "AUTOTITLE," any members with a missing value for the "Name" or "Profile" columns have not yet accepted an invitation to join an organization within the enterprise.

{% endtip %}

You can also see pending {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} invitations to subscribers in {% data variables.visual_studio.prodname_vss_admin_portal_with_url %}.
