Feature availability when GitHub Copilot policies conflict in organizations

Delegating Copilot policy decisions to organizations affects users granted a license by organizations with different policies.

About delegating policy decisions to organizations

Policies can be defined for a whole enterprise, or set at the organization level. See 企業と組織のGitHub Copilotポリシー.

When an enterprise owner delegates control of a policy to organization owners by setting "No policy," some organizations may enable a feature while others disable it. Users may be granted a Copilot license by organizations with different policies for the same feature.

How availability is determined

Feature, model, and privacy settings for users are set according to the least restrictive or the most restrictive policy defined by any of the organizations where they are granted a Copilot license.

  • Least restrictive: if any of the organizations has enabled a feature, this feature is enabled for the user everywhere. This applies to all but the more sensitive Copilot features.

  • Most restrictive: if any of the organizations has disabled a feature, this feature is disabled for the user in all their organizations. This applies only to the most sensitive Copilot features, for example: access to Copilot metrics using the API.

Availability for members with Copilot from multiple enterprises

If a user receives a license from multiple different enterprises, the most restrictive policy usually applies. The exceptions are:

  • AI credit paid usage (this applies to each enterprise, not the user)
  • GitHub Spark
