GitHub Copilot assisted permissions generally available

GitHub made assisted permissions generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and Visual Studio Code, letting a large language model evaluate each request to run a command, access a file system path, or open a URL so that requests classified as clearly safe proceed automatically while others still require approval. Enterprise administrators can use enterprise-managed settings to block Allow All while keeping Assisted available, or disable Assisted separately, and can set the default permission mode for new sessions; if that default is unavailable or prohibited by policy, sessions start with manual approval.

GitHub Copilot assisted permissions generally available Assisted permissions are now generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot app, and Visual Studio Code. When Copilot requests permission to run a command, access a file system path, or open a URL, a large language model evaluates the request. Requests classified as clearly safe automatically proceed. Other requests require your approval. GitHub Copilot CLI github-copilot-cli Run /permissions , then select assisted . GitHub Copilot app github-copilot-app Open the mode picker, click Tool permissions , then select Assisted .

Enterprise controls enterprise-controls If you’re an enterprise administrator, you can use enterprise-managed settings https://docs.github.com/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/reference/enterprise-administrators/enterprise-managed-settings permissions to block Allow All while keeping Assisted available or disable Assisted separately. You can also choose the default permission mode for new sessions. Developers can still select another mode permitted by policy. If the default is unavailable or prohibited by policy, the session starts with manual approval.
