Original: GitHub Copilot's enterprise managed-settings.json is now GA

Short summary

GitHub Copilot's enterprise managed-settings.json reached GA on July 1, giving enterprise admins a single JSON file to govern Copilot behavior across VS Code and the CLI. Five keys control plugin trust, model selection, and permissions, with hourly client refresh and scope limited to enterprise-issued seats. Plan rollouts around the hourly refresh lag and understand that governance extends only to Copilot seats issued by the enterprise, not personal subscriptions or other agents.

  • Managed-settings.json is now GA for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, providing unified Copilot policy governance
  • Five configuration keys control plugins, model selection, and permissions with hourly client refresh cycles
  • Scope limited to enterprise-issued Copilot seats; personal subscriptions and third-party agents remain ungoverned
