## 1. Subscribe your organization to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}
|
|
|
|
Set up a subscription to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} for your organization. See "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/subscribing-to-copilot-for-your-organization)."
|
|
|
|
If your organization is part of an enterprise that has a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} subscription, your enterprise owner can instead enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for your organization.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Set policies
|
|
|
|
Control which {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features are available in your organization. See "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/managing-github-copilot-features-in-your-organization/managing-policies-for-copilot-in-your-organization)."
|
|
|
|
## 3. Set up networking (if necessary)
|
|
|
|
If your organization members connect through an HTTP proxy server or firewall, ensure that [these URLs](/copilot/troubleshooting-github-copilot/troubleshooting-firewall-settings-for-github-copilot#urls-to-add-to-an-allowlist) are added to the allowlist for the proxy server or firewall.
|
|
|
|
You may also need to install custom SSL certificates on your members' machines. See "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/configure-personal-settings/configuring-network-settings-for-github-copilot)."
|
|
|
|
## 4. Grant access to members
|
|
|
|
Enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for some or all members of your organization. See "[AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/managing-access-to-github-copilot-in-your-organization/granting-access-to-copilot-for-members-of-your-organization)."
|
|
|
|
To help drive adoption of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in your organization, think about what teams or members are most excited about {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} or could benefit the most from {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}. You may want to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for those members before enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for your whole organization. This can help you discover blockers, demonstrate early success, and set your organization up for a successful {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} rollout.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can set up a self-serve workflow using the API. See "[Add teams to the Copilot subscription for an organization](/rest/copilot/copilot-user-management?apiVersion=2022-11-28#add-teams-to-the-copilot-subscription-for-an-organization)" and "[Add users to the Copilot subscription for an organization](/rest/copilot/copilot-user-management?apiVersion=2022-11-28#add-users-to-the-copilot-subscription-for-an-organization)" in the REST API documentation.

|
|
* **Encourage adoption**: Encouragement from leadership can help drive adoption of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in your organization. Consider messaging your support of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} and how it can help your organization.
|
|
* **Set up training sessions or workshops**: Training sessions or workshops can help members learn how to use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} effectively.

|
|
* **Setting up knowledge bases** for use with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} _({% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise_short %} only)_. See "[AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/managing-github-copilot-features-in-your-organization/managing-copilot-knowledge-bases)."
|
|
* **Installing {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %}** to integrate other tools with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %}.
