An enterprise account allows you to manage multiple organizations{% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instances{% else %} on {% data variables.product.product_name %}{% endif %}. Your enterprise account must have a handle, like an organization or personal account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.

• Member access and management (organization members, outside collaborators){% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %}
• Billing and usage ({% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instances, user licenses, {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} packs){% endif %}
• Security {% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %}(single sign-on, two factor authentication)
