About managing {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions %}

Before you install {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} in your organization, you should set a usage policy for your {% ifversion ghec %}enterprise or {% endif %}organization. Setting a usage policy allows you to enable or disable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} for all members of your {% ifversion ghec %}enterprise or {% endif %}organization, limiting your security risk. See {% ifversion ghec %}"Setting a policy for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions %} in your enterprise" and {% endif %}"Setting a policy for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions %} in your organization."

Additionally, after you install a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extension_short %} in your organization, you can view and manage the permissions for that extension. See "Managing permissions for a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extension %} in your organization."
