* **Universal user-level budget:** A default budget applied to every {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}-licensed user in your enterprise. This is your primary tool for ensuring fair access to the shared pool.
2727
* **Individual user-level budget:** A budget set for a specific user, which overrides the universal default and takes precedence over it entirely. Use this for power users who need higher limits, or to restrict specific users to a lower amount.

#### When users appear in a universal user-level budget
30+
31+
A universal user-level budget can apply to thousands of licensed users. {% data variables.product.github %} creates each user's budget record the first time they consume {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} after the budget is created, or after the start of a new billing cycle. As a result, users appear in the universal budget list gradually rather than all at once, and a licensed user who does not use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in a given billing cycle will not appear in the list for that billing cycle.

For a complete view of all licensed users regardless of activity, use the **AI usage** or **Licensing** pages.

### Cost center budget

A cost center budget caps metered charges for a defined group of users or an organization. It does not limit how much a team draws from the pool. It is only active after the shared pool is exhausted.
