Enterprise Server 3.15 is currently available as a release candidate.

Managing access to a project (classic) for organization members

As an organization owner or project (classic) admin, you can set a default permission level for a project (classic) for all organization members.

Note

  • Projects, the all-new projects experience, is now available. For more information about Projects, see "About Projects."
  • You can only create a new project (classic) for an organization, repository, or user that already has at least one project (classic). If you're unable to create a project (classic), create a project instead.

By default, organization members have write access to their organization's projects (classic) unless organization owners or project (classic) admins set different permissions for specific projects (classic).
