GitHub Copilot Changes How Model Access Works for Users in Multiple Team Plans

GitHub changed how model access is determined for Copilot users who hold seats in more than one organization on a GitHub Team plan.

Details

• What changed: previously, a user could access any model enabled by any of their organizations; now, the organization billed for that user’s usage — shown as “Usage billed to” on the Copilot features page — solely determines which models they can access
• Who’s affected: only users with Copilot seats across multiple Team-plan organizations; users whose access comes entirely through an enterprise account or its child organizations see no change
• How to check: users can find their billing organization under “Usage billed to” in Copilot settings

What happened next

The change aligns governance with billing, closing a gap where a user’s available models could depend on unrelated organizations rather than the one actually paying for their usage.
