In a GitHub Enterprise Cloud environment with Enterprise Managed Users (EMU), the billing model is based on the total number of user accounts provisioned to the enterprise. Unlike the standard GitHub Enterprise Cloud plan, every managed user who is provisioned from the identity provider (e.g., Azure AD) consumes a paid license, regardless of whether they are a member of any specific organization within the enterprise or their activity level. The license count is directly tied to the total number of provisioned enterprise members.

B. Billing is based on owners and members of GitHub organizations.

This describes the billing model for a standard GitHub Enterprise Cloud plan, not one configured with Enterprise Managed Users (EMU).

C. Billing is based on total users in the enterprise that are not dormant.

A provisioned managed user consumes a license regardless of their activity status. To free up a license, the user must be deprovisioned via the identity provider.

D. Billing is based on the number of users created in Azure AD.

Billing is based only on the users from Azure AD (or another IdP) that are specifically provisioned for access to the GitHub Enterprise, not the total number of users in the entire IdP tenant.

"About Enterprise Managed Users." Under the section "About members of an enterprise with managed users

" the documentation states: "Unlike standard GitHub Enterprise Cloud plans

all members of an enterprise with managed users consume a license." This confirms that every provisioned user is counted for billing.

2. GitHub Docs

"About per-user pricing." Under the section "How does per-user pricing work?

" the standard model is described for contrast: "You're billed for all members of your enterprise who have an enterprise owner or member role

or who are members or owners of at least one organization in your enterprise." This highlights the key difference from the EMU model.
