3. Set up networking (if necessary)

If your enterprise users connect through an HTTP proxy server or firewall, ensure that key URLs are added to the allowlist for the proxy server or firewall. SeeAllowlist reference.

You may also need to install custom SSL certificates on your users' machines. SeeConfiguring network settings for GitHub Copilot.

4. Assign licenses

There are two main ways to grant access to Copilot in an enterprise:

• Assign licenses directly to users or teams in the enterprise. This approach simplifies license management at scale and provides the option of granting Copilot licenses to users who don't consume a GitHub Enterprise license. This approach is currently only available forCopilot Business licenses.
• Enable Copilot for organizations. This approach allows you to choose Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise for individual organizations and give organization owners control to grant licenses to the users who need them most.

For instructions, seeGranting users access to GitHub Copilot in your enterprise.

Next steps

• Explore self-service license management options. Many successful rollouts use a self-service model where developers can claim a license without approval. SeeSetting up a self-serve process for GitHub Copilot licenses.
• Learn how to plan and implement an effective enablement process to drive Copilot adoption. SeeDriving GitHub Copilot adoption in your company.
• Enhance the development experience by enabling and training developers on the latest features. For example, share context with Copilot Spaces, enable Copilot code review on pull requests, and allow developers to experiment with prompts using GitHub Models. For an example showing how these features fit together, seeIntegrating agentic AI into your enterprise's software development lifecycle.
