REST API endpoints for team members
Use the REST API to create and manage membership of teams in your GitHub Enterprise Cloud organization.
About team members
These endpoints are only available to authenticated members of the team's organization. OAuth access tokens require the read:org
scope. GitHub generates the team's slug
from the team name
.
Where pull
and push
permissions are accepted, these will map to the Read and Write roles for an organization repository. For more information about repository roles, see "Repository roles for an organization."
Note: When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API to make changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Managing team synchronization for your organization."
List pending team invitations
The return hash contains a role
field which refers to the Organization Invitation role and will be one of the following values: direct_member
, admin
, billing_manager
, hiring_manager
, or reinstate
. If the invitee is not a GitHub Enterprise Cloud member, the login
field in the return hash will be null
.
Note
You can also specify a team by org_id
and team_id
using the route GET /organizations/{org_id}/team/{team_id}/invitations
.

Add or update team membership for a user
Adds an organization member to a team. An authenticated organization owner or team maintainer can add organization members to a team.
Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.
Note
When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API for making changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub Enterprise Cloud team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
An organization owner can add someone who is not part of the team's organization to a team. When an organization owner adds someone to a team who is not an organization member, this endpoint will send an invitation to the person via email. This newly-created membership will be in the "pending" state until the person accepts the invitation, at which point the membership will transition to the "active" state and the user will be added as a member of the team.
If the user is already a member of the team, this endpoint will update the role of the team member's role. To update the membership of a team member, the authenticated user must be an organization owner or a team maintainer.
Note
You can also specify a team by org_id
and team_id
using the route PUT /organizations/{org_id}/team/{team_id}/memberships/{username}
.

Remove team membership for a user
To remove a membership between a user and a team, the authenticated user must have 'admin' permissions to the team or be an owner of the organization that the team is associated with. Removing team membership does not delete the user, it just removes their membership from the team.
Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

Remove team membership for a user (Legacy)
Warning
Endpoint closing down notice: This endpoint route is closing down and will be removed from the Teams API. We recommend migrating your existing code to use the new Remove team membership for a user endpoint.
Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.
To remove a membership between a user and a team, the authenticated user must have 'admin' permissions to the team or be an owner of the organization that the team is associated with. Removing team membership does not delete the user, it just removes their membership from the team.
Note
When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API for making changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub Enterprise Cloud team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
