I created a new Github user and then I tried to convert that user into an organization but I get "No owners or emails were submitted." error. In the Choose an Organization owner textbox, I entered my another Github account username. I followed Github help https://help.github.com/articles/converting-a-user-into-an-organization but I am unable to convert a user to an organization. Any help?
Once you have entered the account name of the new owner, you then need to press the 'choose' button in order to actually select the new owner.
Pressing 'create organization' should then work.

I showed a friend azure devops and she wanted to try it out. She created a brand new org, but cannot create any projects under the org. She gets a blank error at the top of the screen. It doesn't matter if any of the fields are filled out or not. Create is grayed out. (See below).
She is the org owner, has a basic license, is in the project collection admin group, and we verified she has create project permission. What is the issue?
This was because my friend used an organization email to sign up for AzDO. Her org needs to grant O365 access. I've signed up with my personal email and didn't run into this issue.
We are using GitHub Enterprise 2.5.1.
In our company, when a user switches to a new role, a new AD account will be created for him, with a new set of permissions. e.g. my current account is "huj" as a developer with email address "Jirong_Hu#otpp.com, if I become a BA, then:
The old account "huj" will be marked as "OIM Deletion" in AD.
A new account called "huj2" will be created for me, with the same old email address, Jirong_Hu#otpp.com.
My questions are:
As account is automatically created upon login, if I login to GitHub with the new account "huj2", I got this error: Unable to create the user because email Jirong_Hu#otpp.com is already taken and emails is invalid.
How can I create the new account "huj2" in GitHub, with the same old email address.
What's the consequence of doing the above?
I know this is an old post but it still shows at the top on a Google search on this subject.
Some email providers support using special characters to use multiple email addresses that map to a single account.
For example, if you use Gmail and your email address is myemail#gmail.com and you already have an account on GitHub with that email you can create a new GitHub account using myemail+1#gmail.com
The simple answer is NO.
You can't create more than 1 ID in GitHub by the same email, but you can do it by using multiple email IDs.
If you try to do it, GitHub will show an error - "email invalid or already taken", so delete the present account or make it with a new email id .
There are two ways to resolve this issue:
If the existing user has no activity, then delete this existing account.
Otherwise change his email to something else, then when the new user logs in, a new account will be created.
As GitHub user I can create an organization. But can I also create an organization account without creating a user?
The background is: I want to create an organization account for a company, but don't want to create a new fake user account, that then would create it. Is it possible to cerate an organistion (user) account without creating a "normal" user (account) before?
Trying to add users to the organization space.
Despite being listed as a manager, not able to view any link to invite users.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Go to manage organization page (not space page), and you should see something like this:
Then, use Invite a New User link.
Also, in same page, double check your user id has a tick on MANAGER column.
Hope this helps.
Are you trying to add users to your own organization (or) an organization are you invited to ?
From Bluemix documentation here :
Users
The basic role in organizations and spaces. You must be assigned to an organization before you can be granted permissions to the spaces within the organization.
In Bluemix, you can be either a member or a collaborator of an organization:
You are a collaborator of an organization if you already have a Bluemix account, and someone else invites you to the organization.
You are a member of an organization if you don't have a Bluemix account, but then someone invites you to the organization and you sign up for Bluemix from the invitation.
Note: You cannot invite users to your organization if you are a collaborator of the organization, even if you were assigned as an organization manager. Therefore, if you previously registered for a Bluemix account before you were invited to this organization, you cannot invite users, regardless of your role. See Unable to add users to an organization for information about how to work around this problem.
Only the owner of the organization can invite any new users.
You can try inviting users from your own organization. (the one which come by default with the name as your Bluemix Id).
I have a private git repository and I would like to extend its access to a member of my team. Will I be able to do it through the Github website? I have the username of my member.
I have tried to do this by going through the admin page of the repository but there isn't such an option as I am not the owner.
If you are the owner it is simple:
Go to your repo and click the Settings button.
In the left menu click Collaborators
Then Add their name.
Then collaborator should visit this example repo link https://github.com/user/repo/invitations
Source: Github Docs.
It is a simple 3 Step Process :
1) Go to your private repo and click on settings
2) To the left of the screen click on Manage access
3) Then Click on Invite Collaborator
It is a simple 3 Step Process :
Go to your private repo and click on settings
To the left of the screen click on Manage access
Then Click on Invite Collaborator
The invited user needs to be logged in to Github before clicking the invitation link in their email or they'll get a 404 error.
Heres a screenshot of how to do it:
Two steps:
1. Login and click "Invite someone" in the right column under "People". Enter and select persons github id.
2. It will then give you the option to "Invite Username to some teams" at which point you simply check off which teams you want to add them to then click "Send Invitation"
Alternatively:
1. Get the persons github id (not their email)
2. Navigate to the repository you would like to add the user to
3. Click "Settings" in the right column (not the gearbox settings along the top)
4. Click Collaborators long the left column
5. Select the repository name
6. Where it reads "Invite or add users to team" add the persons github id
7. An invitation will then be e-mailed.
Please let me know how this worked for you!
It is a simple 3 Step Process :
Go to your private repo and click on settings
To the left of the screen click on Manage access
Then Click on Invite Collaborator
This, but also - the invited user needs to be logged in to Github before clicking the invitation link in their email or they'll get a 404 error.
It´s possible via Github Organizations. You have to create a new account.
https://github.com/organizations/new
It's working in 2021,
Though the Repo has to be made private first then the click on
settings => Manage access => Invite Collaborator
The user who gets the repo access has to navigate to the repo and can make changes to the main branch.
Your team members must be accessing the repository using SSH & for that they have to have their ssh key mapped with github account. This will work if they map their ssh key with github account and also the repository has public rights, which they want to access.
