It seems there might've been a backend change that requires collaborators on repos to be in the member list for the organization, because previously when students were added to their repos they were listed as "outside collaborators" and they did not show up in the organization member list. Nor were they required to be added as an organization member, really unsure why this change was made or what the current status is @RyanHecht ??? |

Hi everyone,
I recently transitioned to GitHub as the primary tool for my high school computer science classes. I’m running into an issue where I share an assignment link from GitHub Classroom, but several students are unable to accept it. I believe it’s related to their membership status in the associated school Organization I created.
Bug Description: I created a private template repository in my school organization to use as starter code for an assignment in GitHub Classroom. I sent the assignment link to 8 students, but 3 of them told me that they encountered the following error:
Additional Context: All 8 students appear to be successfully “linked” on the Roster within the GitHub Classroom. HOWEVER – only the first 5 students were able to join the associated Organization as members. Those 5 students who are listed as Members were able to accept the assignment and generate a repository, while the 3 students who are NOT listed as Members in the Organization are having the issue described above. I also received an email about a failed invitation: "___ could not be invited because you don't have seats available". I was under the impression that an Organization with Education benefits would accommodate all of my students (I teach around 30-40 students total per year) and I would not have to pay for "seats."
Solution Attempts:
Any solutions? Codespaces is the perfect IDE for our purposes, so I really want to continue using GitHub. But I need to be able to generate private repositories for student projects for the rest of the year. I have 26 other students (in my other classrooms) that I need to fix this for urgently!
