About enterprise accounts on GitHub AE
The enterprise account on GitHub AE allows you to manage the organizations owned by your enterprise.
Organizations are shared accounts where enterprise members can collaborate across many projects at once. Organization owners can manage access to the organization's data and projects with sophisticated security and administrative features. For more information, see "About organizations."
Your enterprise account allows you to manage and enforce policies for all the organizations owned by the enterprise. Each enterprise policy controls the options available for a policy at the organization level.

For more information, see "About enterprise policies."
