Removing organizations from your enterprise

You can remove an organization that is owned by your enterprise account, so the organization stands alone.

What happens when an organization is removed?

When you remove an organization from your enterprise:

• Billing, identity management, 2FA requirements, and other policies for the organization will no longer be governed by your enterprise.
• The organization will be downgraded to the free plan.
• The organization will be governed by our standard Terms of Service.
• Any internal repositories within the organization will be converted to private repositories.

As part of the downgrade to the free plan:

• Protected branch and ruleset configurations will be retained in your settings, but will no longer be applied in private repositories.
• Existing pull request drafts will remain in draft status. New drafts cannot be created.
• CODEOWNERS files will no longer be applied in private repositories.
• Private GitHub Pages sites will no longer be available.
• Wikis will be retained, but won't be visible unless the organization is upgraded to GitHub Team.
• Secrets will be retained, but will not be accessible in private repositories unless the organization is upgraded to GitHub Team.
