Generally available GET and PATCH endpoints let administrators retrieve and update model availability settings for enterprises, teams, apps and organizations.

GitHub has made REST API endpoints for GitHub Copilot model policies generally available, giving administrators a way to retrieve and update model-availability settings across four scopes: enterprises, enterprise teams, enterprise apps and organizations.

The endpoints use GET and PATCH requests. GitHub says enterprise policies can delegate model control to organizations in organization mode, or to teams and apps in enterprise teams mode. The company points administrators to its documentation on managing model availability and its REST API reference for setup details.

The release is aimed at managing which Copilot models are available across an enterprise; GitHub's announcement does not provide further details about the policies' capabilities or limits.
