• Owners have complete administrative access to your organization. This role should be limited, but to no less than two people, in your organization. For more information, see "Maintaining ownership continuity for your organization." {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
• Billing managers allow a person to manage billing settings. For more information, see "Adding a billing manager to your organization". {% endif %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} managers

By default, only organization owners can manage the settings of {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}s owned by an organization. To allow additional users to manage {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}s owned by an organization, an owner can grant them {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} manager permissions.

When you designate a user as a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} manager in your organization, you can grant them access to manage the settings of some or all {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}s owned by the organization. For more information, see:

• "Adding GitHub App managers in your organization"
• "Removing GitHub App managers from your organization"

Outside collaborators

To keep your organization data secure while allowing access to repositories, you can add outside collaborators. {% data reusables.organizations.outside_collaborators_description %}
