Non-interactive sessions bypass disableBypassPermissionsMode managed setting #4528
Description
Describe the bug
Non-interactive (-p / --prompt) with --allow-all / --yolo grant permissions automatically even when .github-private/copilot/managed-settings.json is configured with:
{
"permissions": {
"disableBypassPermissionsMode": "disable"
}
}Attempting to run /allow-all / /yolo within the interactive shell correctly states:
Bypass permissions mode has been disabled by policy. Contact your administrator for more information.
Affected version
1.0.80
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Configure
"disableBypassPermissionsMode": "disable". - Pass
--yolo -p {prompt}to copilot CLI.
Expected behavior
yolo mode is ignored and tool calls are denied.

Thanks for the report. We've shipped fixes in this area since this was filed (most recently in Copilot CLI v1.0.87), and we believe this may now be resolved. Could you retest on the latest release (Copilot CLI v1.0.103) and let us know whether you still see it? If we don't hear back in a couple of weeks, we may close this issue — you can always reopen it.
Triaged as part of a Copilot SDK backlog review, with help from GitHub Copilot.
