Note: New repository creation permissions are available to preview. You can now use members_can_create_public_repositories, members_can_create_private_repositories, and members_can_create_internal_repositories. You can only allow members to create internal repositories if your organization is associated with an enterprise account using GitHub Enterprise Cloud or GitHub Enterprise Server 2.20+. These parameters provide more granular permissions to configure the type of repositories organization members can create.
To access these new parameters during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:
application/vnd.github.surtur-preview+json
Warning: The API may change without advance notice during the preview period. Preview features are not supported for production use. If you experience any issues, contact GitHub Support or GitHub Premium Support.
To see many of the organization response values, you need to be an authenticated organization owner with the admin:org scope. When the value of two_factor_requirement_enabled is true, the organization requires all members, billing managers, and outside collaborators to enable two-factor authentication.
GitHub Apps with the Organization plan permission can use this endpoint to retrieve information about an organization's GitHub plan. See "Authenticating with GitHub Apps" for details. For an example response, see "Response with GitHub plan information."
