GitHub Apps Can Now Manage Enterprise Copilot Seats

At a glance

GitHub enterprise apps can now manage Copilot seats across an entire enterprise. A Copilot seat is a slot that lets a user access Copilot. The feature lets admins decide which users and enterprise teams receive seats.

Key points

1. 1

   Enterprise GitHub Apps can now call the Copilot seat management API.

2. 2

   The API (a way for programs to exchange data) uses a new permission called Enterprise Copilot license management.

3. 3

   Seats can be assigned to individual users and to enterprise teams.

Why it matters

Administrators of large organizations can manage Copilot access through programs instead of clicking through screens, which reduces their workload.
