About policies for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} in your enterprise

If you have a subscription to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise_short %}, you can enforce policies for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} within your enterprise's organizations, or allow policies to be set in each organization.

Wherever a restrictive policy has been chosen at the enterprise level, an organization owner will not be able to select a more permissive policy at the organization level. In cases where no policy is selected at the enterprise level, and multiple organizations within the enterprise have chosen different policies and granted access to the same users, the most restrictive policy takes precedence for those users.

Enforcing a policy to manage the use of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} suggestions that match public code

{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} includes a filter which detects code suggestions that match public code on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. You can choose whether to enable or disable the filter at the enterprise level, or allow organization owners to decide at the organization level. When the filter is enabled, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} checks code suggestions with their surrounding code of about 150 characters against public code on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. If there is a match or near match, the suggestion will not be shown.
