github can't invite exist outside collaborator to another repository when there is no seats left

(I'm not a native speaker of English.Please forgive my terrible english.)

I have a private organization on github like this: https://github.com/xxx-technology this organization includes two repositories: repository A repository B

I invited [email protected] as an outside collaborator to repository A. Succeed and ocupied the last seat left. Now my organization have no more seats left.

After a few days, I want to invite the same people([email protected]) to repository B.But when I try it,I got an error which said "You must purchase at least one more seat to invite this user as a collaborator."

As I know one outside collaborator just ocupy one seat.

So how can I invite an exist outside collaborator to a new repository when there is no seats left. Would love some help!

Solution

  • Sorry,I solved this problem by asking one of my friends.

    To invite an exist outside collaborator to a new repository when there is no seats left.

    You just need to invite him by his github Name instead of his email address.
