Подключение подписки Azure

Вы можете включить и заплатить за выставление счетов на основе использования на GitHub.com путем подключения подписки Azure.

If you created a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud on or after August 1, 2024, you use usage-based billing to pay for your licenses. With usage-based billing, you pay for the number of licenses you use each month. You do not need to buy a predefined number of licenses in advance. See, "About usage-based billing for licenses."

Important

If you currently pay for your GitHub Enterprise licenses through a volume, subscription, or prepaid agreement, you will continue to be billed in this way until your agreement expires. At renewal, you have the option to switch to the metered billing model. See "Getting started with the new billing platform."

About connection of an Azure subscription

You can pay for usage of GitHub Enterprise Cloud features through Azure by connecting an Azure Subscription ID to your organization or enterprise account on GitHub.com.

In this article, the instructions that you must follow to connect an Azure subscription depend on whether your company uses a single organization or an enterprise account on GitHub.com. For more information about the differences between these two types of accounts, see "Types of GitHub accounts."

If you use GitHub Enterprise Cloud through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, connection to an Azure subscription is the only way to use GitHub Codespaces and Copilot Business, or to use GitHub Actions and GitHub Packages beyond your plan's included amounts.

About billing through Azure

If you link your GitHub account to Azure, any usage-based costs starting from that point will be billed through Azure and charged on the 1st of each month. However, remaining GitHub charges, for example charges for your GitHub plan, will still be billed on your usual billing date.

For example, you link your Azure subscription to your organization or enterprise account on June 16th and you also have a GitHub Copilot Business subscription. From that date onwards, any usage costs for Copilot Business will be included in your Azure bill and charged on July 1st. However, any charges incurred before June 16th for Copilot Business will be billed separately through GitHub on your account's usual billing date.

Prerequisites

  • You must have either an organization or an enterprise account on GitHub.com. For more information about the differences between these two types of accounts, see "Types of GitHub accounts."

    If the organization you want to connect an Azure subscription to belongs to an enterprise account, you must connect your Azure subscription to the enterprise account, not the organization.

  • You must be an owner of the organization or enterprise account. See the following articles.

  • You must be logged into Azure as a user who is able to provide tenant-wide admin consent, which is required to install GitHub's Subscription Permission Validation app on the Azure AD tenant. The app requires read access to display a list of available subscriptions, and is only used during this one-time process of connecting the Azure subscription. See Grant tenant-wide admin consent to an application in Microsoft Docs.

    • Alternatively, before following the instructions in this article, users who are not able to provide tenant-wide admin consent can work with an Azure AD global administrator to configure an admin consent workflow. See User and admin consent in Azure Active Directory in Microsoft Docs.

      Note

      If your tenant provides user consent settings, users included in those settings might not require admin consent to install GitHub's Subscription Permission Validation app. See User consent in Microsoft Docs.

  • To select an Azure subscription from the list of available subscriptions, the user must be an owner of the Azure subscription. See Assign a user as an administrator of an Azure subscription in Microsoft docs.

  • You must know your Azure subscription ID. See Get subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal in the Microsoft Docs or contact Azure support.

  9. Under "Select a subscription", select the Azure subscription ID that you want to connect to your enterprise. To select an Azure subscription, you must have owner permissions to the subscription. If the default tenant does not have the right permissions, you may need to specify a different tenant ID. For more information, see "Prerequisites" and Microsoft identity platform and OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow in Microsoft Docs.

  10. Select By clicking "Connect", you are confirming that you want to be billed for metered services via the selected Azure subscription.

Troubleshooting connection of an Azure subscription

You can troubleshoot some common issues with connection of an Azure subscription to your account on GitHub.

Message: "Need admin approval"

If the user account you used to sign into Azure does not have adequate permissions to install the app that GitHub uses to connect a subscription, you'll see a message with the following text.

Need admin approval

GitHub Inc needs permission to access resources in your organization that only an admin can grant. Please ask an admin to grant permission to this app before you can use it.

To avoid this message when you try again, you must either ensure that the Azure user can provide tenant-wide admin consent, or you must work with an Azure administrator to configure the admin consent workflow. For more information, review "Prerequisites."
