Adding outside collaborators to repositories in your organization

Only members with owner privileges for an organization or admin privileges for a repository can add outside collaborators to a repository, unless an organization owner has restricted the ability to invite collaborators. For more information, see "Setting permissions for adding outside collaborators."

When you add an outside collaborator to a repository, you'll also need to add them to any forks of the repository you'd like them to access.

1. On GitHub AE, navigate to the main page of the repository.

2. Under your repository name, click Settings.

   

3. In the left sidebar, click Collaborators & teams.

   

4. Under "Collaborators", type the name of the person you'd like to give access to the repository, then click Add collaborator.

   

5. Next to the new collaborator's name, choose the appropriate permission level: Write, Read, or Admin.
