About organization invitations
If your organization has a paid per-user subscription, an unused license must be available before you can invite a new member to join the organization or reinstate a former organization member. For more information, see "About per-user pricing."
If an invitee does not accept the invitation within seven days, the pending invitation expires automatically. After expiration, GitHub will no longer bill you for the pending invitation.
If your organization requires members to use two-factor authentication, users that you invite must enable two-factor authentication before accepting the invitation. For more information, see "Requiring two-factor authentication in your organization" and "Securing your account with two-factor authentication (2FA)."
Organizations that use GitHub Enterprise Cloud can implement SCIM to add, manage, and remove organization members' access to GitHub.com through an identity provider (IdP). For more information, see "About SCIM for organizations" in the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.
