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!

for organizations subscribed to gitHub team or gitHub enterprise, all members and collaborators must occupy a paid seat. If all of your org’s seats are currently filled, you have 2 options:

  1. delete unnecessary users that take up space until a seat becomes available
  2. increase the organization’s paid seat count

for the second solution, you will be able to do that only if you are an owner or billing manager for the organization, if not, the link to "buy more" seats will direct you to a 404 not found page.

for more, read that:

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.
