GitHub Copilot adds server-to-server auth for org apps and agents
GitHub says Copilot now supports server-to-server authentication for GitHub Apps installed on organisations, in public preview. Services and agents built with the Copilot SDK can call Copilot on behalf of an organisation using a short-lived installation access token, without a signed-in user's credentials. Developers give the app the read-only Copilot Requests organisation permission; usage is billed to the installing organisation and follows that org's model policies, budgets and spending controls. Owners can spot app-attributed usage via the app_client_id field in AI usage CSV reports and stop access by suspending or uninstalling the app.
Why it matters: If you are wiring Copilot into internal bots or CI agents, move those calls to an org-installed GitHub App so spend and model policy sit with the company, not a personal account.
