About delegating policy decisions to organizations

Policies can be defined for a whole enterprise, or set at the organization level. See AUTOTITLE.

When an enterprise owner delegates control of a policy to organization owners by setting "No policy," some organizations may enable a feature while others disable it. Users may be granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license by organizations with different policies for the same feature.

How availability is determined

Feature, model, and privacy settings for users are set according to the least restrictive or the most restrictive policy defined by any of the organizations where they are granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license.

  • Least restrictive: if any of the organizations has enabled a feature, this feature is enabled for the user everywhere. This applies to all but the more sensitive {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features.

  • Most restrictive: if any of the organizations has disabled a feature, this feature is disabled for the user in all their organizations. This applies only to the most sensitive {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features, for example: access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} metrics using the API.
