GitHub separates Copilot app access from the Copilot CLI policy

GitHub introduced a dedicated enterprise and organisation policy for Copilot app access with enabled, disabled and organisation-delegated states.

Policy active

Previous stateCopilot app access depended on the Copilot CLI policy.
New stateThe app has a dedicated enterprise and organisation policy with Enabled everywhere, Disabled everywhere and Let organisations decide states; the documented default is Enabled everywhere.

Who is affected

GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise administrators governing app access.

Action required

Review the dedicated policy, explicitly disable or delegate it where the default is not acceptable and preserve broader managed settings.
