Post addition of the user to the development team automatically triggers the automation to create the users GitHub Account and add the user to the EY organization. This process usually gets completed under 1 hour but sometimes we have observed it taking 2-3 hours as well (In worst case scenario it has taken 24 hrs as well).

Adding Billing Project (Optional)
NOTE: A valid billing project is required for GitHub Copilot access (As of now, we are not sure if the Copilot cost will be charged to the project code or not).
This step needs to be performed only if a valid billing project doesn't appear on 'My billing Projects' section (as seen in below image)
Click on the 'My billing project is not listed here or I don' t have one' checkbox
Enter the engagement code of your project in the search box and click on the 'Search' button
DISCLAIMER: Please use your own project code for requesting GitHub Copilot access. Strictly use the training code displayed in the image below only if your own project code doesn't work and you are unable to raise access.
Once the project information loads, click on the 'I have authorization to use this project' checkbox and click on 'Add' button
Requesting 'GitHub Copilot' access
Click on the 'GitHub Copilot' card under the 'Developer tools products' section and then the billing project and finally on the 'Get Product' button (The 'Get Product' button is only visible once you have selected GitHub card and the project)
Click on the 'Confirm' button
A request is being processed popup will appear
Wait for 10 - 45 minutes for the access to be provisioned
Post requesting access to GitHub copilot, the access provisioning usually gets completed within 10-15 minutes but in worse case scenario it might take 45 minutes as well.
