Description
Describe the bug
Managing policies and features for GitHub Copilot in your organization
Control the availability of GitHub Copilot features and models for users granted a license by your organization.
Copilot policies are also managed at the enterprise level. If your enterprise owner has selected a specific policy, such as enabling a feature everywhere, disabling it everywhere, or enabling it for selected organizations only, you cannot override that setting at the organization level. For information on how policies combine, see GitHub Copilot policies for enterprises and organizations.
Tip
If your organization belongs to an enterprise, see Adopting GitHub Copilot in your enterprise for guidance on coordinating policies with broader governance and rollout decisions.
Enabling Copilot features and models in your organization
-
In the upper-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Organizations.
-
Select an organization by clicking it.
-
Under your organization name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.
-
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.
-
For each policy you want to configure, click the dropdown menu and select an enforcement option.
Note
The MCP servers in Copilot policy controls use where MCP server support is generally available (GA). This policy does not control access and permissions for the GitHub MCP server in third-party host applications (like Cursor, Windsurf or Claude). For more information on controlling access to the GitHub MCP server, see the Policies and Governance documentation in the GitHub MCP Server repository.
Opting in to previews or feedback
If your organization has a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise plan and you enable "Copilot in GitHub.com", two additional options are displayed:
- Opt in to user feedback collection: If enabled, users will see options to provide feedback on selected Copilot features.
- Opt in to preview features: If enabled, users can test new Copilot features that are not yet generally available. Be aware that previews of features may have flaws, and the features may be changed or discontinued at any time.
