About {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} settings in your organization

{% data reusables.copilot.about-copilot %}

{% ifversion ghec %}To configure {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} use in your organization, the organization must be owned by a {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} account, and an enterprise admin must first enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_business_short %} for your organization. Organization admins will then be able to manage seat assignment within the organization.

Depending on the policy settings configured at the enterprise level, an organization admin may also be able to determine whether to allow or block {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} suggestions that match public code. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."{% endif %}
