About managing default model availability

As an enterprise owner, you can manage which default Copilot models are available to organizations within your enterprise. For each model, you can choose whether it is automatically enabled for all organizations or whether individual organizations can choose to enable it.

Choosing which models are available

You can choose which default models from GitHub are available to organizations in your enterprise.

  1. Navigate to your enterprise. For example, from the Enterprises page on GitHub.com.
  2. At the top of the page, click AI controls.
  3. In the sidebar, click Copilot.
  4. Click Configure allowed models.
  5. Above the list of models, click Add models.
  6. In the modal, select or deselect the checkboxes next to the models you want to make available or remove.
  7. Click Save.

Setting organization availability for a model

You can control whether a model is automatically enabled for all organizations or whether organizations can choose to enable it themselves.

  1. Navigate to your enterprise. For example, from the Enterprises page on GitHub.com.
  2. At the top of the page, click AI controls.
  3. In the sidebar, click Copilot.
  4. Click Configure allowed models.
  5. In the "Default models" tab, next to a model, click the dropdown menu and select an availability option:
    • Enabled: The model is enabled for all organizations in your enterprise.
    • Optional: Organizations can choose whether to enable the model.

Creating targeted model rules

Targeted model rules let you control exactly which models are available to specific organizations, giving you more granular control than the enterprise-wide availability settings.

  2. At the top of the page, click AI controls.
  3. In the sidebar, click Copilot.
  4. Click Configure allowed models.
  5. In the "Targeted model rules" section, click Create access rule.
  6. Next to "Target organizations", click Add organizations, then select the organizations you want the rule to apply to.
  7. Under "Allowed models", click Add models, then select the models you want to make available to the selected organizations and click Save.
  8. Click Create rule.
