Managing your organizations

Learn how to manage your organizations in your enterprise.

Best practices for organizations in an enterprise

There are multiple options for structuring the organizations within your enterprise. Each approach has pros and cons, and the best structure for your enterprise depends on the characteristics and needs of your business, including size and security constraints. See Procedimientos recomendados para estructurar organizaciones en tu empresa.

Adding organizations to your enterprise

There are three ways to add organizations to your enterprise.

  • Create a new organization in your enterprise.
  • Invite an existing organization to join your enterprise.
  • Transfer an existing organization between enterprise accounts.

Adding existing organizations to your enterprise is not possible if you use Enterprise Managed Users. Existing organizations from an enterprise with managed users cannot be added to a different enterprise, and organizations cannot be transferred from GitHub.com to GHE.com.

To learn how to create a new organization, invite an existing organization, or transfer an existing organization, see Agregar organizaciones a tu empresa.

Managing your role in an organization

You can choose to join an organization owned by your enterprise as a member or as an organization owner, change your role within the organization, or leave the organization. See Administración del rol en una organización que pertenece a la empresa.

Removing an organization from your enterprise

You can remove an organization that is owned by your enterprise account, so the organization stands alone. To learn more about what happens when an organization is removed, and how to remove an organization in the web interface, see Eliminar a las organizaciones de tu empresa.
