How does the enterprise billing manager role differ from the enterprise owner role on GitHub Enterprise Cloud?

GitHub Enterprise Cloud separates enterprise owners, who administer enterprise-wide settings, policies, and ownership concerns, from billing managers, who are scoped to billing and payment-related administration. This separation supports least privilege so finance personnel need not hold full enterprise ownership. Billing managers do not gain force-push rights on protected branches, and they are not blanket outside collaborators on all private repositories. The billing manager role exists and is not limited to repository maintainers. Administrators should assign billing managers explicitly, review who can change payment methods, and keep owner counts small and accountable.
