## How availability is determined

Feature, model, and privacy settings for users are set according to the **least restrictive** or the **most restrictive** policy defined by any of the organizations where they are granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license.
Feature and privacy settings for users are set according to the **least restrictive** or the **most restrictive** policy defined by any of the organizations where they are granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license.

* **Least restrictive:** if any of the organizations has **enabled** a feature, this feature is enabled for the user everywhere. This applies to all but the more sensitive {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features.

* **Most restrictive:** if any of the organizations has **disabled** a feature, this feature is disabled for the user in all their organizations. This applies only to the most sensitive {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features, for example: access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} metrics using the API.

Model policies combine enterprise and organization settings:

* **Most restrictive at enterprise level:** if an enterprise policy disables a model, organizations in that enterprise cannot enable that model.
* **Least restrictive at organization level:** for users with licenses from multiple organizations, if any organization enables a model that the enterprise allows, that model is available to the user in all their organizations.
