Managing policies and features for Copilot in your organization

Copilot policies are also managed at the enterprise level. If your organization is part of an enterprise, and explicit settings have been selected at the enterprise level, you cannot override those settings at the organization level. For information on how policies combine, see Copilot policies to control availability of features and models.

Enabling Copilot features and models in your organization

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Your organizations.
2. Next to the organization, click Settings.
3. In the sidebar, under "Code, planning, and automation", click Copilot.
   • Click Policies to edit the policies that control privacy and availability of features.
   • Click Models to edit the policies that control availability of models beyond the basic models provided with Copilot, which may incur additional costs.
4. For each policy you want to configure, click the dropdown menu and select an enforcement option.
