Conversion d'un membre de l'organisation en collaborateur externe

Si un membre actuel de votre organisation a uniquement besoin d'accéder à certains dépôts, tels que des consultants ou des employés temporaires, vous pouvez les convertir en collaborateur externe.

Qui peut utiliser cette fonctionnalité ?

Organization owners can convert an organization member to an outside collaborator.

Note

If your enterprise uses managed user accounts, the outside collaborator role is called "repository collaborator." Generally, the documentation for outside collaborators also applies to repository collaborators. For the distinctions that apply, see "Roles in an organization."

About conversion of organization members to outside collaborators

You can convert a member of an organization to an outside collaborator. For more information about outside collaborators, see "Adding outside collaborators to repositories in your organization."

If the organization is owned by an enterprise, converting an organization member to an outside collaborator may be restricted. For more information, see "Enforcing repository management policies in your enterprise."

Adding an outside collaborator to a private or internal repository will use one of your paid licenses. For more information, see "About per-user pricing." When you add an outside collaborator to a repository, you'll also need to add them to any forks of the repository you'd like them to access. If you are adding an outside collaborator to a private or internal fork of a repository, the collaborator must be a member of the enterprise.

After converting an organization member to an outside collaborator, they'll only have access to the repositories that their current team membership allows. The person will no longer be an explicit member of the organization, and will no longer be able to:

  • Create teams
  • See all organization members and teams
  • @mention any visible team
  • Be a team maintainer

For more information, see "Roles in an organization."

We recommend reviewing the organization member's access to repositories to ensure their access is as you expect. For more information, see "Managing an individual's access to an organization repository."

When you convert an organization member to an outside collaborator, their privileges as organization members are saved for three months so that you can restore their membership privileges if you invite them to rejoin your organization within that time frame. For more information, see "Reinstating a former member of your organization."
