Permission levels for a personal account repository |
A repository owned by a personal account has two permission levels: the repository owner and collaborators. |
|
|
|
Repository permissions |
Repositories owned by personal accounts have one owner. Ownership permissions can't be shared with another personal account.
You can also {% ifversion fpt or ghec %}invite{% else %}add{% endif %} users on {% data variables.product.product_name %} to your repository as collaborators. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
Tip
If you require more granular access to a repository owned by your personal account, consider transferring the repository to an organization. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
The repository owner has full control of the repository. In addition to the actions that any collaborator can perform, the repository owner can perform the following actions.
