GH-300 - Use GitHub Copilot features (28% of the exam) - Section 2.6

Manage organisation-wide Copilot policies, feature availability, audit logs, and subscriptions via the REST API.

Configure organisation-wide policy management, enable Copilot code review policies, and control feature availability across IDEs and github.com. Use audit log events to track Copilot activity and manage subscriptions and seat assignment with the GitHub REST API.

Practice question for this objective

Free sampleUse GitHub Copilot featuresmedium

An engineering manager wants every developer in her organisation to have GitHub Copilot, but she also needs an audit log of Copilot activity and the ability to set an organisation-wide policy that blocks suggestions matching public code. Which GitHub Copilot plan is the minimum that satisfies both requirements?

  • ACopilot Free, because the individual no-charge tier already exposes organisation audit logs and admin policy controls to every signed-in member.
  • BCopilot Business, because it provides centralised seat management, an organisation policy for matching public code and Copilot audit logging. Correct
  • CCopilot Pro, because the paid individual tier adds the seat administration, audit logging and public-code policy controls that teams require.
  • DCopilot Enterprise, because audit logging and the public-code matching policy are unlocked only at the highest GitHub Copilot subscription tier.
Identify Copilot Business as the entry plan that adds organisation seat management, audit logs and the public-code matching policy. Organisation-level administrative controls, including seat management, the policy that blocks suggestions matching public code, and Copilot audit logs, first become available at the Copilot Business tier rather than on the individual Free or Pro plans, so Business is the minimum plan that meets both requirements.

Why A is wrong: Copilot Free is an individual no-charge tier with capped completions and chat; it has no organisation policy management or audit log, so it cannot satisfy either administrative requirement.

Why B is correct: Copilot Business is the entry tier that adds organisation seat administration, the duplication-detection policy that blocks suggestions matching public code, and audit logs, meeting both stated needs.

Why C is wrong: Copilot Pro is a paid individual subscription aimed at one developer; it lacks centralised seat management, audit logs and org-wide policy, so it cannot enforce the controls she needs.

Why D is wrong: Copilot Enterprise would work but is not the minimum; the audit log and public-code policy first appear at Copilot Business, so naming Enterprise overspends on capabilities already present lower down.

Exam traps in Use GitHub Copilot features

Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the GH-300 bank for this domain.

  • The full text of every prompt each developer typed into Copilot Chat during the quarter, so the reviewer can inspect the exact wording of individual requests for the period.

    Why it is wrong: This is tempting because audit feels exhaustive, but the organisation audit log records administrative and configuration events, not the verbatim content of developers' individual Copilot prompts.

  • In each developer's local Copilot Chat history, because the chat transcript stores a per-user log of every administrative policy change applied to the organisation.

    Why it is wrong: Chat history records a user's conversation turns, not administrative policy changes; it is local and per-user, so it cannot provide an organisation-wide compliance record.

  • Copilot Pro, because the paid individual plan grants each subscriber a personal REST API to delegate seats to colleagues.

    Why it is wrong: Copilot Pro covers a single developer and has no organisation seat pool or seat-management API, so it cannot script assignment across hundreds of developers.
