About administrator management

If you do not use Enterprise Managed Users, you can add or remove enterprise owners and billing managers on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information about the privileges that come with each enterprise role, see "Roles in an enterprise."

If you do use Enterprise Managed Users, enterprise owners and billing managers can only be added or removed through your identity provider. For more information, see "About Enterprise Managed Users."
