Viewing and updating support tickets

In this article

You can view your support tickets, collaborate with colleagues on tickets, and respond to GitHub Support using the GitHub Support portal.

About ticket management

If you have previously contacted GitHub Enterprise Support through the GitHub Enterprise Support portal, which is now deprecated, you should use the GitHub Support portal to open new tickets. You can still view your past tickets at https://enterprise.githubsupport.com.

You can use the GitHub Support Portal to view current and past support tickets and respond to GitHub Support. After 120 days, resolved tickets are archived, and archived tickets can only be viewed for enterprise accounts.

Your capabilities in the GitHub Support portal depend on the account you select when you submit a ticket. If you select an enterprise account, your role in the enterprise also affects your capabilities.

Note: Urgent priority and Premium Support SLAs apply only to tickets associated with an enterprise account.

To open, view, and comment on support tickets associated with an enterprise account or organization owned by an enterprise account, you must have support entitlements for the account. Enterprise owners and billing managers automatically have a support entitlement, and enterprise owners can add support entitlements to enterprise members. For more information, see "Managing support entitlements for your enterprise."

Viewing your recent support tickets

Collaborating on support tickets

You can collaborate with your colleagues on support tickets using the support portal. Owners, billing managers, and other enterprise members with support entitlements can view tickets associated with an enterprise account or an organization managed by an enterprise account. For more information, see "Managing support entitlements for your enterprise."

In addition to viewing tickets, you can also add comments to support tickets if your email address is copied on the ticket or if the person who opened the ticket used an email address with a domain that is verified for the enterprise account or organization managed by an enterprise account. For more information about verifying a domain, see "Verifying or approving a domain for your enterprise" and "Verifying or approving a domain for your organization."
