unique active committer; GHAS license
Definition
GitHub Advanced Security license billing: "Each active committer to at least one repository with an Advanced Security feature enabled uses one license. A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored."
Counting rules
Counted as unique active committers across the whole organization or enterprise, so one person uses one license however many repositories they push to. Only committers who hold a GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise license with the organization or enterprise count; GitHub App bots are ignored. After migration with GitHub Enterprise Importer only post-migration commits count. Secret Protection and Code Security are licensed separately; GitHub Code Quality has its own per-committer license on the same 90-day rule.
Floors / minimums
Volume/subscription: a purchased number of licenses for a defined period, typically at least a year. Metered: no pre-defined limit.
