How does metered billing work in GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Enterprise Managed Users (EMU)?

Question

Options

• ABilling is based on number of total users in the enterprise
• BBilling is based on owners and members of GitHub organizations
• CBilling is based on total users in the enterprise that are not dormant
• DBilling is based on the number of users created in Azure AD

• A
  91% (32)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

With GitHub Enterprise Cloud EMU, metered billing counts all provisioned users in the enterprise, regardless of their activity level - making A correct. This is a key distinction from standard GitHub Enterprise, where dormant users may be excluded from billing counts, which is exactly what makes C a tempting but wrong choice. Option B is incorrect because billing scope is the entire enterprise, not just organizational owners and members (a subset of total users). Option D is a red herring - while Azure AD (or another IdP) provisions EMU users, GitHub bills based on its own enterprise user count, not the IdP's directory count.

Memory tip: Think "EMU = Every Managed User counts." Once a user is provisioned into the enterprise, they're on the bill - no dormancy discount, no org-scoping.
