Organization owners can change several settings, including the names of repositories that belong to the organization and Owners team membership. In addition, organization owners can delete the organization and all of its repositories. You can use organizations to collaborate with a large number of people across many projects at once, while managing access to your data and customizing settings. Accounts on GitHub allow you to organize and control access to code. You can customize access to each repository in your organization by assigning granular roles, giving people access to the features and tasks they need. Teams are groups of organization members that reflect your company or group's structure with cascading access permissions and mentions.

Organizations can choose which OAuth apps have access to their repositories and other resources by enabling OAuth app access restrictions.

To govern key events in the lifecycle of your repositories, such as who can create or delete repositories, you can create a repository policy. A repository policy is a collection of restrictions that gives you flexible control over which users are affected and which repositories are targeted.

Organization roles are a way to grant an organization member the ability to administer certain subsets of settings without granting full administrative control of the organization and its repositories. For example, you could create a role that contains the "View organization audit log" permission. You can create and assign custom organization roles in your organization's settings.

In addition to single-user accounts, GitHub has what are called Organizations. Like personal accounts, Organizational accounts have a namespace where all their projects exist, but many other things are different. These accounts represent a group of people with shared ownership of projects, and there are many tools to manage subgroups of those people.

Normally these accounts are used for Open Source groups (such as “perl” or “rails”) or companies (such as “google” or “twitter”). An organization is pretty easy to create; just click on the “+” icon at the top-right of any GitHub page, and select “New organization” from the menu. First you’ll need to name your organization and provide an email address for a main point of contact for the group. Then you can invite other users to be co-owners of the account if you want to. Follow these steps and you’ll soon be the owner of a brand-new organization. Like personal accounts, organizations are free if everything you plan to store there will be open source.
