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 %}
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."
{% endtip %}
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.
