Body

I am the owner of a GitHub organization with a Teams subscription. When I am exporting all members I get a CSV file with the some fields login , name, etc. as well as the field last_active.

The documentation for exporting members from a Teams account says that the last_active field is the "Datetime of the user's last activity". For a definition of what last activity means in practice, that page links to the documentation for what is considered a dormant user on Enterprise accounts.

Assuming the definition of last activity is the same for Teams organizations and Enterprise organizations, my question is what does "Signing into GitHub.com" (the first condition for being active) mean exactly? If a user who is a member in the account I am owner of only visits repositories on GitHub.com hosted by accounts other than my Teams organization, are they still considered active?

The examples below the list of conditions for being active say "a user who has recently commented on an issue in a public repository outside of the enterprise may be considered dormant". This seems to indicate that only visiting pages on GitHub.com that are pages that belongs to the Teams organization I am the owner of are considered active. Is someone able to confirm this?

I asked Github Support, and they replied:

The actions for last activity are the same on a team plan as Enterprise, just some of the activities are not relevant (such as authenticating using SAML SSO). If you want more control over what is considered activity, we also have a sample code available for finding inactive users.
