GitHub now lets enterprise admins push managed Copilot settings to VS Code and Copilot CLI through MDM, server-managed settings, or a locked local JSON file. GitHub's managed Copilot settings are now useful for endpoint-level governance, not just account-side policy. Enterprise admins can push the same settings into VS Code and Copilot CLI through native MDM, server-managed settings, or a root-owned local managed-settings.json file. Use this when agent policies need to follow the machine, not just the signed-in user. The practical checks are simple: decide which settings must be non-bypassable, choose the delivery channel that matches your fleet, test precedence, and confirm developers cannot override the managed tier locally. Check Why it matters --- --- MDM path Windows uses HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\GitHubCopilot; macOS uses managed preferences for com.github.copilot. File ownership File-based settings must live in the expected system path and should not be user-writable. Precedence Native MDM wins over server-managed settings, which win over file-based settings. Supported keys Start with permission bypass controls, model policy, plugin lists, known marketplaces, and telemetry settings. Client coverage Confirm the target VS Code and Copilot CLI versions read the managed settings before broad rollout. This is a resource, not a hands-on review. Treat it as a deployment checklist for Copilot governance across managed developer machines.
