> Manage shared repositories with organizations, teams and least-privilege repository permissions.

## Organizations

An **organization** is a shared account that owns repos for a company or project, separate from any one person's account.

## Teams & permissions

**Teams** group members and get repo permissions (Read, Triage, Write, Maintain, Admin) assigned all at once instead of per person.

## Least privilege

Grant the minimum permission level needed — most contributors only need Write, not Admin.

**Quiz:** Which organization permission level lets someone push code but not change repo settings?

- [ ] Read
- [ ] Admin
- [x] Write
- [ ] Owner only

*Answer:* Write. Write allows pushing and managing issues/PRs, while changing repo settings requires Admin.
