How do I enable AI Assistant for my company?

In organizations' profiles, access to AI Assistant is blocked for everyone by default. You can allow your developers to use the AI Assistant plugin in their IDEs via the administration settings in your JetBrains Account.

You can choose to enable access to AI Assistant for all users in the account or to manage access for each team individually.

If you want to enable access to AI Assistant on a team-by-team basis, here's a quick guide. If any of the steps have already been taken care of, you can just move onto the next one:

1. Identify users: Figure out who in your organization needs to use AI Assistant.
2. Hand out licenses: Assign an IDE license and a JetBrains AI Pro license to each user who needs one.
3. Form teams: Add all the assigned IDE licenses to teams. These can be existing teams or new ones. If you want, you can also add the JetBrains AI Pro licenses to the same teams, but that’s not necessary.
4. Enable AI Assistant for the teams: Give the teams from step 3 access to AI Assistant. Depending on your permissions, you can provide the team with access to AI Assistant via either the organization's administration settings or in team settings. If you left the JetBrains AI Pro licenses in a separate team, you don't need to give that team access to AI Assistant.

This setting manages your developers’ access to the JetBrains AI Assistant plugin only. It does not affect AI features provided by other vendors via separately installed plugins.

In accounts with Free Classroom or Open Source Development licenses, AI Assistant is enabled for all users. Currently, there's no option to disable it.
