Administrators can now apply consistent controls for everyone on your enterprise’s Copilot plan.\n\n[Enterprise-managed plugin governance](#enterprise-managed-plugin-governance)\n\nAdministrators can manage Copilot plugins and their marketplaces in JetBrains IDEs. The supported settings provide three controls:\n\n**Enabled plugins:** Use`enabledPlugins`\n\nto require a plugin to be enabled or disabled.**Additional marketplaces:** Use`extraKnownMarketplaces`\n\nto make approved plugin sources available.**Restricted marketplaces:** Use`strictKnownMarketplaces`\n\nto limit installation to approved sources.\n\n[MCP server allowlist](#mcp-server-allowlist)\n\nAdministrators can use `allowedMcpServers`\n\nand `deniedMcpServers`\n\nto centrally control which MCP servers developers can connect to from GitHub Copilot for JetBrains. This brings centrally managed MCP governance into JetBrains IDEs and prevents connections to servers outside the enterprise allowlist.\n\n[Managed OpenTelemetry](#managed-opentelemetry)\n\nAdministrators can centrally configure OpenTelemetry for Copilot in JetBrains IDEs, including the collector endpoint, protocol, service name, resource attributes, and content-capture policy. Managed values take precedence over developer settings, so telemetry is consistently routed to the approved collector.\n\nDevelopers can review the applied configuration under **Settings > Tools > GitHub Copilot > Chat > OpenTelemetry**.\n\n[Organization-controlled permission modes](#organization-controlled-permission-modes)\n\nAdministrators can set `permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode`\n\nto `disable`\n\nto prevent the Copilot agent in JetBrains from using **Bypass Approvals** or **Autopilot**.\n\n[Try it out](#try-it-out)\n\nTry the [latest version of the GitHub Copilot plugin for JetBrains](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17718-github-copilot) and share your feedback. For more details on enterprise managed settings, see [enterprise managed settings reference](https://docs.github.com/copilot/reference/enterprise-managed-settings-reference).\n\n[Share your feedback](#share-your-feedback)\n\nYour feedback drives improvements.
