Assigning licenses to users or teams

You can assign {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} licenses directly to users or enterprise teams.

When you assign licenses to an enterprise team, users receive or lose access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} when they are added or removed from the team. If you use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, you can sync the team with an identity provider (IdP) group and manage licensing from your IdP.

Prerequisites

• Set the Policies for enterprise-assigned users policy to define a default setting for these users when other enterprise policies are set to "No policy". See AUTOTITLE.
• If you want to assign licenses to users who are not already in your enterprise, you must first invite the users (personal accounts) or provision them from your identity provider ({% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}). For personal accounts, see AUTOTITLE.
• If you want to assign a license to an enterprise team, you must create the team first. See AUTOTITLE.

Enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for organizations

1. Next to "Organization access", choose whether to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for all organizations or allow for specific organizations.

   

2. If you selected Allow for specific organizations:

   1. Click the {% octicon "organization" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="organization" %} Organizations tab.
   2. Locate the organization for which you want to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}.
   3. To the right of the organization name, select the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} dropdown menu.
      • If your enterprise has a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} plan, click Enabled.
      • If your enterprise has a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} plan, click either Copilot: Enterprise or Copilot: Business to assign a specific Copilot plan to the organization.
