Body

Hi team,

I'm having an issue and wanted to see if it's possible to use a self-hosted runner from one organization in another. I created a runner in Organization 'A' and have a new repo in Organization 'B.' Can I use the same runner for this new repo?

By default, self-hosted runners in GitHub are scoped to the organization where they’re registered — so a runner created in Organization A can’t be used directly in Organization B.

However, if you're using GitHub Enterprise, you can register runners at the enterprise level and assign them to runner groups that can be shared across multiple organizations.
🔗 Enterprise runner configuration

If you're not on Enterprise, you'd need to register the same machine separately in each organization.

hello dear
No, self-hosted runners are tied to one organization. Create a new runner for Organization B or use enterprise-level runners.
