Question

Your company runs GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) on-premises and also has a GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) organization under the same enterprise account. Finance wants a single consolidated view of total consumed user licenses across both the server and cloud deployments so they can reconcile seat counts against the purchased entitlement. As the enterprise administrator, what is the correct approach to provide this?

Accepted Answer

Enable GitHub Connect and configure license usage synchronization so GHES uploads its consumed-seat data to GitHub Enterprise Cloud, where the combined count is displayed and deduplicated by email.

Answer

Manually export the user list from each GHES and GHEC deployment to CSV every month and combine them in a spreadsheet, since the two platforms cannot share license data.

Answer

Generate a support bundle from the GHES instance and send it to GitHub Support, who will merge the seat counts with the cloud usage and return a consolidated report.

Answer

Configure SCIM provisioning from your IdP to both GHES and GHEC so the identity provider becomes the authoritative source for the total license count.
