Organization policies to manage cost, security and developer experience

Organization Policies are now available for organizations on our Enterprise plan, giving administrators centralized controls to manage security, developer experience, and resource costs.

With Organization Policies, you can:

  • Enhance security - Restrict development environments to only run in the cloud (e.g. not locally) and control which editors developers can use to access your code
  • Standardize experience - Create a consistent “golden path” by defining allowed editors and default container images
  • Control costs - Set environment timeout limits and maximum environment counts to prevent unexpected resource usage
  • Enforce governance - Require environments to be created only from approved projects
  • Manage resources - Limit concurrent running environments per user for optimized resource allocation

Discover how to configure Organization Policies in our documentation.
