What you'll learn

Turning GitHub Copilot on for a handful of developers is simple. Governing it responsibly across an entire organization, with the right licenses, the right guardrails, and a clear audit trail, is a different problem. In this course, GitHub Copilot Deployment and Administration, you'll gain the ability to deploy, govern, and audit GitHub Copilot at scale as an administrator. First, you'll explore provisioning seats and developer access across Copilot Business and Enterprise, including the current usage-based credit model. Next, you'll discover how to enforce compliance policies, including the safe rollout of the autonomous coding agent and the public code matching filter that protects copyright indemnification. Then, you'll learn to establish AI governance through content exclusions, organization-wide custom instructions, and least-privileged MCP server access. Finally, you'll learn how to maintain full oversight of Copilot activity through audit logs, coding agent session logs, and automated security remediation review. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to deploy and administer GitHub Copilot responsibly across a growing engineering organization.
