Overview

If you administer GitHub Copilot Business or GitHub Copilot Enterprise, you can now centrally control which agent operations are blocked, require human approval, or can proceed without a prompt.

Managed permissions cover shell commands, file reads and edits, and network domains. This gives you fine-grained guardrails for sensitive operations without disabling agent workflows. Managed restrictions can’t be weakened by user or workspace settings, auto-approval, or previously saved approvals. You can also provide specialized policies for different enterprise teams.

These controls are generally available in the GitHub Copilot app, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Visual Studio Code sessions that use Agent Host.
