Copilot model access update for GitHub Team plans
GitHub has updated Copilot model access for users with seats across multiple organizations on Team plans. Previously, any organization could grant model access, but now it's solely determined by the organization paying for the usage. This adjustment aims to synchronize billing and governance for multi-org Copilot users. Users can verify their billing organization on the Copilot features page, while enterprise users remain unaffected.
