Question

Your company has adopted Enterprise Managed Users (EMUs) for its GitHub Enterprise Cloud account. A developer on your team complains that although they can sign in with their managed account, they are unable to open a pull request on a well-known open-source project hosted outside your enterprise. What is the most accurate explanation for this behavior?

Accepted Answer

Managed user accounts can only interact with repositories inside their own enterprise and cannot contribute to repositories owned by other organizations or personal accounts.

Answer

The developer must enable two-factor authentication on their managed account before they can interact with any external repository.

Answer

The open-source project has branch protection rules that block all outside collaborators from opening pull requests.

Answer

The developer needs to be granted the Triage role by an enterprise owner to open pull requests on external repositories.
