Check this doc: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-copilot-for-your-enterprise/making-copilot-coding-agent-available-to-enterprise tell me how to enable Copilot coding agent available to enterprise members.

GitHub Copilot:

I'll fetch the documentation you referenced to get the specific steps for enabling Copilot coding agent for enterprise members.

Fetched https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud%40latest/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-copilot-for-your-enterprise/making-copilot-coding-agent-available-to-enterprise

Based on the GitHub documentation, here's how to enable Copilot coding agent for enterprise members:

Prerequisites

  • You need to be an Enterprise owner
  • Requires GitHub Copilot Pro+ or GitHub Copilot Enterprise plans
  • Note: Copilot coding agent is currently in public preview

Steps to Enable Copilot Coding Agent

  1. Access Copilot Policies Navigate to the Copilot policies page for your enterprise to configure policies for GitHub Copilot.

  2. Configure the Policies You need to configure two specific policies:

For "Copilot coding agent" policy:

  • Select "Enabled" or "No policy"

For "MCP servers on GitHub.com" policy:

  • Select** "Enabled"** or "No policy"
  1. Policy Options Explained
  • "Enabled": All users granted a Copilot license by any of your organizations will be able to use the feature -** "Disabled"**: No users granted a Copilot license by your organizations will be able to use the feature
  • "No policy": Organization owners in each of your organizations will be able to decide if their Copilot licensees can use the feature

Next Steps

If you selected "Enabled":

  • Inform organization owners that Copilot coding agent is enabled for all members
  • They should define which repositories are allowed to use Copilot coding agent

If you selected "No policy":

  • Discuss member enablement and Copilot coding agent availability in repositories with organization owners

Important Notes

  • Copilot coding agent and third-party MCP servers are disabled by default
  • The feature is not available in repositories owned by managed user accounts
  • Organization owners will need to configure repository-level access after enterprise-level enablement

For more detailed organization-level configuration, refer to the documentation on "Adding Copilot coding agent to your organization."

Addition:

Copilot policies are also managed at the enterprise level. If your organization is part of an enterprise, and explicit settings have been selected at the enterprise level, you cannot override those settings at the organization level. For more information on managing policies at the enterprise level, see Managing policies and features for Copilot in your enterprise.
