Frequently asked questions

What if my Copilot licenses are in a different GitHub organization than my repositories?

You can connect both GitHub organizations to Swarmia, and we can track the users' licenses across organizations.

Why can't I see the feature toggles for enabling Copilot Metrics APIs even though I am an organization admin?

If the organization is part of a GitHub enterprise, the features are managed through enterprise policies. To enable these features for a GitHub organization within a GitHub enterprise the feature policies must be set to "Enabled everywhere" for the enterprise.
