Only organization owners and maintainers of a parent team can create a new child team under a parent. Owners can also restrict creation permissions for all teams in an organization. For more information, see "Setting team creation permissions in your organization."
Organizations that use GitHub Enterprise Cloud can use team synchronization to automatically add and remove organization members to teams through an identity provider. For more information, see "Synchronizing a team with an identity provider group" in the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.
