copilot policies

Copilot policies covers the administrative rules that decide which GitHub Copilot features an organization's users can reach. The tagged discussion focuses on GitHub's global "Default policy for new features" setting for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise, which determines whether generally available features an administrator never configured are turned on, kept off, or delegated to each organization. The practical concern raised is auditing policies still marked Unconfigured before that default takes effect on October 22, 2026, since GitHub applied a similar approach to Copilot models earlier. For IT admins managing Microsoft and developer tooling, this tag tracks how Copilot governance defaults shape access.
