GitHub Copilot now offers organization-level usage metrics in public preview, giving org admins direct visibility without enterprise-level access requirements.
GitHub rolled out organization-level Copilot usage metrics dashboards in public preview on February 20, addressing a gap that previously forced org admins to rely on enterprise-level reporting for adoption insights.
The change matters for mid-sized teams and standalone organizations that don’t operate under enterprise umbrellas. Previously, usage metrics dashboards existed only at the enterprise tier, leaving organization owners blind to how their teams actually used the AI coding assistant.
What’s Actually New
Organization owners can now access Copilot usage metrics directly through GitHub’s UI. The dashboard mirrors data from recently released organization usage APIs but packages it into a visual format that doesn’t require API calls or custom tooling.
Access isn’t limited to enterprise customers. Free and Team tier organizations can use the dashboard, provided they’ve enabled Copilot usage metrics. Users with custom roles that include “View Organization Copilot Metrics” permission can also access the data—a useful option for granting visibility without full admin privileges.
The Deduplication Catch
One wrinkle worth flagging: if your organization sits within an enterprise, don’t expect the numbers to match up cleanly. Enterprise reporting deduplicates users across organizations, while org-level reports count users wherever they’re active. A developer belonging to three organizations shows up in all three org reports but only once in enterprise totals.
This isn’t a bug—it’s how the scoping works. But it means finance teams comparing org-level usage against enterprise billing will see discrepancies.
Broader Copilot Momentum
The dashboard arrives amid steady Copilot feature expansion. GitHub released testing capabilities for .NET in Visual Studio on February 11, and JetBrains IDE improvements landed February 13. The pricing tiers remain unchanged: $10/month for Pro, $19/user/month for Business, and $39/user/month for Enterprise.
For organizations evaluating whether Copilot delivers ROI at $19 or $39 per seat, granular usage data should help justify renewals—or flag underutilized licenses before the next billing cycle.
