Adding a Configuration Policy

Policies allow enterprise administrators to lock configuration settings via OS-level mechanisms (Windows Group Policy, macOS managed preferences, Linux config files) or via Copilot account-level policy data. This skill covers the complete procedure.

When to Use

• Adding a new policy: field to any configuration property
• Modifying an existing policy (rename, category change, etc.)
• Reviewing a PR that touches policy registration
• Adding account-based policy support via IPolicyData
