GitHub Copilot adds server-to-server authentication for GitHub Apps installed on organizations
GitHub Copilot now supports server-to-server authentication for GitHub Apps installed on organizations, available in public preview. Services and agents built with the GitHub Copilot SDK can make requests on behalf of the organization using this authentication method.
Why it matters
Backend services and automated agents built on the Copilot SDK can authenticate as a GitHub App installation rather than relying on a user session, which is relevant for unattended server workloads.
Who should care
Developers building internal tools or automated agents with the GitHub Copilot SDK, and organizations that administer GitHub Apps.
What you can do
Review the GitHub changelog post and test server-to-server authentication with a GitHub App installed on a non-production organization while the feature is in public preview.
