Notes

Check team permissions for a repository

Checks whether a team has admin, push, maintain, triage, or pull permission for a repository. Repositories inherited through a parent team will also be checked.

You can also get information about the specified repository, including what permissions the team grants on it, by passing the following custom media type via the application/vnd.github.v3.repository+json accept header.

If a team doesn't have permission for the repository, you will receive a 404 Not Found response status.

Note: You can also specify a team by org_id and team_id using the route GET /organizations/{org_id}/team/{team_id}/repos/{owner}/{repo}.

get /orgs/{org}/teams/{team_slug}/repos/{owner}/{repo}

Parameters

Notes

Add or update team repository permissions

To add a repository to a team or update the team's permission on a repository, the authenticated user must have admin access to the repository, and must be able to see the team. The repository must be owned by the organization, or a direct fork of a repository owned by the organization. You will get a 422 Unprocessable Entity status if you attempt to add a repository to a team that is not owned by the organization. Note that, if you choose not to pass any parameters, you'll need to set Content-Length to zero when calling out to this endpoint. For more information, see "HTTP verbs."

Note: You can also specify a team by org_id and team_id using the route PUT /organizations/{org_id}/team/{team_id}/repos/{owner}/{repo}.

For more information about the permission levels, see "Repository permission levels for an organization".

put /orgs/{org}/teams/{team_slug}/repos/{owner}/{repo}

Notes

Add or update team repository permissions (Legacy)

Deprecation Notice: This endpoint route is deprecated and will be removed from the Teams API. We recommend migrating your existing code to use the new "Add or update team repository permissions" endpoint.

To add a repository to a team or update the team's permission on a repository, the authenticated user must have admin access to the repository, and must be able to see the team. The repository must be owned by the organization, or a direct fork of a repository owned by the organization. You will get a 422 Unprocessable Entity status if you attempt to add a repository to a team that is not owned by the organization.

Note that, if you choose not to pass any parameters, you'll need to set Content-Length to zero when calling out to this endpoint. For more information, see "HTTP verbs."

put /teams/{team_id}/repos/{owner}/{repo}

Parameters

 Status: 404 Not Found

Notes

Add or update team membership for a user

Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

Adds an organization member to a team. An authenticated organization owner or team maintainer can add organization members to a team.

Note: When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API for making changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub."

An organization owner can add someone who is not part of the team's organization to a team. When an organization owner adds someone to a team who is not an organization member, this endpoint will send an invitation to the person via email. This newly-created membership will be in the "pending" state until the person accepts the invitation, at which point the membership will transition to the "active" state and the user will be added as a member of the team.

If the user is already a member of the team, this endpoint will update the role of the team member's role. To update the membership of a team member, the authenticated user must be an organization owner or a team maintainer.

Note: You can also specify a team by org_id and team_id using the route PUT /organizations/{org_id}/team/{team_id}/memberships/{username}.

put /orgs/{org}/teams/{team_slug}/memberships/{username}

Parameters

NameTypeInDescription
acceptstringheader

Setting toapplication/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

orgstringpath
team_slugstringpath

team_slug parameter

usernamestringpath
rolestringbody

The role that this user should have in the team. Can be one of:
* member - a normal member of the team.
* maintainer - a team maintainer. Able to add/remove other team members, promote other team members to team maintainer, and edit the team's name and description.

Default: member

Notes

Remove team membership for a user

Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

To remove a membership between a user and a team, the authenticated user must have 'admin' permissions to the team or be an owner of the organization that the team is associated with. Removing team membership does not delete the user, it just removes their membership from the team.

Note: When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API for making changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization.

If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub."

Get team membership for a user (Legacy)

Deprecation Notice: This endpoint route is deprecated and will be removed from the Teams API. We recommend migrating your existing code to use the new Get team membership for a user endpoint.

Team members will include the members of child teams.

To get a user's membership with a team, the team must be visible to the authenticated user.

Note: The response contains the state of the membership and the member's role.

The role for organization owners is set to maintainer. For more information about maintainer roles, see Create a team.

Add or update team membership for a user (Legacy)

Deprecation Notice: This endpoint route is deprecated and will be removed from the Teams API. We recommend migrating your existing code to use the new Add or update team membership for a user endpoint.

Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

If the user is already a member of the team's organization, this endpoint will add the user to the team. To add a membership between an organization member and a team, the authenticated user must be an organization owner or a team maintainer.

Note: When you have team synchronization set up for a team with your organization's identity provider (IdP), you will see an error if you attempt to use the API for making changes to the team's membership. If you have access to manage group membership in your IdP, you can manage GitHub team membership through your identity provider, which automatically adds and removes team members in an organization. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub."

If the user is unaffiliated with the team's organization, this endpoint will send an invitation to the user via email. This newly-created membership will be in the "pending" state until the user accepts the invitation, at which point the membership will transition to the "active" state and the user will be added as a member of the team. To add a membership between an unaffiliated user and a team, the authenticated user must be an organization owner.

If the user is already a member of the team, this endpoint will update the role of the team member's role. To update the membership of a team member, the authenticated user must be an organization owner or a team maintainer.

Notes

Team synchronization

The Team Synchronization API allows you to manage connections between GitHub teams and external identity provider (IdP) groups. To use this API, the authenticated user must be a team maintainer or an owner of the organization associated with the team. The token you use to authenticate will also need to be authorized for use with your IdP (SSO) provider. For more information, see "Authorizing a personal access token for use with a SAML single sign-on organization."

You can manage GitHub team members through your IdP with team synchronization. Team synchronization must be enabled to use the Team Synchronization API. For more information, see "Synchronizing teams between your identity provider and GitHub."

Note: The Team Synchronization API cannot be used with Enterprise Managed Users. To learn more about managing an organization with managed users, see "External groups API".

List IdP groups for an organization

Team synchronization is available for organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

List IdP groups available in an organization. You can limit your page results using the per_page parameter. GitHub generates a url-encoded page token using a cursor value for where the next page begins. For more information on cursor pagination, see "Offset and Cursor Pagination explained."
