About the membership overview

On the "Members" page, you will find an overview of the number of members in your enterprise, grouped by role. For more information, see "Roles in an enterprise."

If a user has multiple roles in an enterprise, the user is counted once for each role. For example, if the same user is a member of three organizations and an owner of two organizations, the user counts once towards "Organization member" and once towards "Organization owner."

An "outside collaborator" is a user who has access to a repository in an organization, but is not a member of the organization. The user might be an outside collaborator in one organization in your enterprise and a member of another organization. In this case, the user counts towards each total. For more information, see "Adding outside collaborators to repositories in your organization."

If your enterprise uses SCIM provisioning, an "unaffiliated" user is someone who been provisioned with a user account, but is not a member of any of your organizations.

For more information, see "Managing dormant users."

Filtering by member type

You can filter the member list of an organization by type to determine if memberships are managed through an IdP or managed directly. Memberships managed through an IdP were added through an IdP group, and the IdP group was connected to a team within the organization.
