  • User accounts only have two permission levels, the account owner and collaborators.
    • Owner: This user has full control of the account and the private repositories directly owned by the account. There is only one owner of a user account's repositories, this cannot be shared with another user.
    • Collaborator: Has push/pull access to the repositories they have been granted collaborator access. See the "Write Access Teams" and "Read Access Teams" permissions below for more details.
