About enterprise accounts on GitHub Enterprise Server
An enterprise account allows you to manage multiple organizations and GitHub Enterprise Server instances. Your enterprise account must have a handle, like an organization or personal account on GitHub. Enterprise administrators can manage settings and preferences, like:
- Member access and management (organization members, outside collaborators)
- Billing and usage (GitHub Enterprise Server instances, user licenses, Git LFS packs)
- Security (single sign-on, two factor authentication)
- Requests and support bundle sharing with GitHub Enterprise Support
Enterprise accounts are currently available to GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server customers paying by invoice. Billing for all of the organizations and GitHub Enterprise Server instances connected to your enterprise account is aggregated into a single bill. For more information about the management of your GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscription, see "Viewing the subscription and usage for your enterprise account." For more information about managing your GitHub Enterprise Server billing settings, see "Managing billing for your enterprise."
For more information about the management of users, organizations, data, and policies for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, see "Managing users, organizations, and repositories" and "Setting policies for your enterprise."
For more information about the management of enterprise accounts using the GraphQL API, see "Enterprise accounts."
For more information about the differences between GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server, see "GitHub's products." To upgrade to GitHub Enterprise or to get started with an enterprise account, contact GitHub's Sales team.
