Setting up a dedicated enterprise for GitHub Copilot Business

Create an enterprise account for managing Copilot Business licenses without adopting GitHub Enterprise.

With a dedicated enterprise account, you get enterprise-grade identity provider integrations for authentication and provisioning without paying for GitHub Enterprise licenses. See À propos des comptes d’entreprise pour Copilot Business.

Create an enterprise account

Important

If you purchased Copilot Business through GitHub's sales team, your enterprise account is already created. Skip to the next section.

Start a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud to create your enterprise account.

Set up a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud

Do not create any organizations during setup. Adding users to organizations assigns GitHub Enterprise licenses, while adding users directly to the enterprise keeps your setup limited to Copilot Business.

Add users to your enterprise

Once you have an enterprise account, add the people who will receive Copilot Business licenses. How you add users depends on your enterprise type.

Enterprise with personal accounts

Invite users directly to your enterprise. For detailed steps, see Invitation directe d’utilisateurs à votre entreprise.

Enterprise with managed users

If your enterprise uses Enterprise Managed Users, provision user accounts from your identity provider (IdP) through SCIM. For setup and provisioning guidance, see Pour commencer avec Enterprise Managed Users.

Provisioned users appear automatically in your enterprise's People list. You can then assign Copilot Business licenses directly to these users or to enterprise teams synced with your IdP.

Create teams (optional)

Group users to scale license assignment by creating enterprise teams. See Création d’équipes d’entreprise.

Enable Copilot for the enterprise

Avant de pouvoir attribuer des licences, un propriétaire d’entreprise doit activer Copilot pour l’entreprise.

  1. Accédez à votre entreprise. Par exemple, depuis la page Entreprises sur GitHub.com.
  2. En haut de la page, cliquez sur Facturation et licences.
  3. Dans la barre latérale gauche, cliquez sur Gestion de licence.
  4. À côté de « Copilot », cliquez sur Activer.

Assign Copilot licenses

Give people access to Copilot by assigning Copilot Business licenses to users or enterprise teams.

For detailed steps, see Accorder aux utilisateurs access à GitHub Copilot dans votre entreprise.
