Enterprise managed settings in-product validator

GitHub released an in-product validator for enterprise managed settings in GitHub Copilot that detects malformed JSON, unsupported configurations, invalid team mappings, and other errors preventing policies from being enforced. The validator, found in the "Copilot settings validation" section of the enterprise AI controls page, reports each issue with the affected file and JSON path across copilot/managed-settings.json and copilot/team-mappings.json plus referenced team settings files. After fixing an issue, administrators commit the change to the default branch of their .github-private repository, reload the Agents page, and recheck the validator results.

You can now use an in-product validator for enterprise managed settings for GitHub Copilot. The validator detects malformed JSON, unsupported configurations, invalid team mappings, and other errors that can prevent policies from being enforced.

Review and correct errors in the “Copilot settings validation” section of the enterprise AI controls page. Each issue identifies the affected file and JSON path, helping you make corrections to ensure that policies are enforced as intended.

Validation covers:

  • copilot/managed-settings.json
  • copilot/team-mappings.json and any team settings files referenced by the team mappings file

After correcting an issue, commit the change to the default branch of your .github-private repository, reload the Agents page, and review the validator results to confirm that your configuration is valid. To learn more, see our documentation on enterprise managed client settings.
