AI settings

Use the AI settings page to enable AI-powered features in your organization, manage your plan, AI seats, and AI credits, and control data collection options. Additionally, there is a separate tab with the status of AI Enterprise, which is part of the JetBrains IDE Services suite.

Enable AI

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, below the On and Off switches, you will see how many AI credits are available in your organization. If you don't have any AI credits in your organization, there will be a button to buy them.
Click On to enable AI in your organization.
You can select to grant AI access to all users in your organization at once or manually per user. For the differences between these options, see AI access settings.
Both options apply to users only. Service accounts never get AI access automatically. You must always explicitly grant AI access to a service account.
Select the I have read and I accept the JetBrains AI Platform Terms of Service on behalf of my organization checkbox.
You cannot save your choice until you accept the terms. If your organization has already accepted the terms, the checkbox is selected and cannot be changed. You don't need to accept the terms again.
Click Save and wait for the changes to take effect.
It may take up to one hour for the settings to update.

Disable AI

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
Click Change access settings in the top right of the AI settings page.
In the dialog, select Off.
The Off option applies only to release IDE builds activated with a license owned by your organization. It does not apply to IDE EAP builds or Community editions.
Click Save changes and wait for the changes to take effect.
It may take up to one hour for the settings to update.

AI is disabled for everyone in your organization, including users and service accounts, and is blocked in all IDEs activated with a license owned by your organization.

Disabling AI removes access granted directly to users and service accounts. Access granted through groups is retained. When you re-enable AI and grant AI access to all users, they get access again automatically. If you choose to grant AI access manually per user, members of retained groups regain access, while other users must be granted access again. For details about the access options, see AI access settings. Service accounts are always re-granted per account.

On a paid plan, all AI seats return to the shared pool while AI is disabled. AI seats are assigned again when you re-enable AI and users regain access.

AI access settings

AI access settings define how users in your organization get AI access. You select an option when you enable AI, and you can change it later.

Grant AI access to everyone: All users in your organization get AI access, including new users when they join your organization. You can't grant or revoke AI access per user or group. On a paid plan, every user then needs an AI seat.
Grant AI access manually per user: You grant AI access to specific users directly or through a group on the AI access page. While this option is selected, you can also revoke AI access per user or group.

AI access alone isn't enough to use AI-powered features. A user also needs AI credits within their credit limit and, on a paid plan, an AI seat. For details, see AI access.

Change AI access settings

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
Click Change access settings in the top right of the AI settings page.
In the dialog, select to grant AI access to all users in your organization at once or manually per user.
Click Save changes and wait for the changes to take effect.
It may take up to one hour for the settings to update.

What happens after the change depends on the option you select:

If you switch to Grant AI access manually per user, users keep their AI access and, on a paid plan, their AI seats. After that, you can grant or revoke AI access per user.
If you switch to Grant AI access to everyone, all users in your organization get AI access, and users who already had access keep it. On a paid plan, they get AI seats only if seats are available. For details, see Users without AI seats.

Manage plans

A plan defines which features are available to your organization. The Basic plan is free and covers the essentials, while the Business and Enterprise plans add advanced AI governance and other features. For more information, see Feature comparison.

On the Basic plan, all users with AI access can use AI-powered features through JetBrains Air within their limit of AI credits. On the Business or Enterprise plan, every user with AI access also requires a paid AI seat, which is how your organization pays for the extra features, such as custom policies and third-party AI providers.

The chosen plan applies to the whole organization, so you can't keep some users on the Basic plan. If your organization needs advanced Air Governance features, you select a paid plan and purchase enough AI seats for all users who need access to AI-powered features. Service accounts don't require an AI seat regardless of the plan.

The AI settings page shows your current plan. On a paid plan, it also shows the date the plan renews or ends, and the AI seats card shows how many AI seats you purchased. You can upgrade to a paid plan at any time: the new plan and its AI seats usually take effect within a few minutes. Your AI access settings and AI credits stay the same. You can switch back to the Basic plan later.

Upgrade to a paid plan

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
In the Current plan card, click Change plan.
On the Choose a plan page, select the Business plan.
To upgrade to the Enterprise plan, click Contact sales in the Enterprise card and submit your request.
In the AI seats section, specify the number of AI seats you want to buy, and choose how often you want to be charged for them: monthly or annually.
The number of AI seats is prefilled with the number of users who currently have AI access. You can change it to a different number.
If there are more users with AI access than AI seats bought, some of them won't get an AI seat and won't be able to use AI-powered features until you buy additional AI seats. You can't choose which users don't get a seat. Before you continue, specify enough AI seats for all users with AI access, or revoke AI access from users who don't need AI-powered features. You can't undo a plan change right away: if you switch back to the Basic plan later, the switch takes effect only at the end of the billing period. For more details, see How many AI seats you need.
The final price is calculated during checkout in the JetBrains eStore and may vary based on local taxes, currency, and billing details.
Click Continue to checkout and complete the payment in the JetBrains eStore.
If you specified fewer AI seats than there are users with AI access, JetBrains Console asks you to confirm the number of AI seats.
When the payment is complete, close the JetBrains eStore tab to return to JetBrains Console.

After the purchase is processed, JetBrains Console switches your organization to the Business plan and automatically assigns the purchased AI seats to the users who already have AI access. You can't choose which users get the seats. For details, see Users without AI seats.

Switch to the Basic plan

You can switch to the Basic plan if you no longer need access to the advanced AI governance features.

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
In the Current plan card, click Manage plan.
The Products and services page opens and shows your current subscription.
Cancel the subscription.

The switch takes effect at the end of the current billing period: the end of the month or the end of the year. Until then, your organization stays on the paid plan, and the amount already paid is not refunded. Your AI credits are not affected by the plan change.

In the Current plan card, the banner shows the date the plan will switch to Basic. Until that date, you cannot change your plan in Air Governance. You can still buy additional AI seats before that date. In this case, you pay only for the days left in the current billing period.

After the switch:

The configuration of AI policies, MCP servers, agents, and AI providers no longer takes effect, but it is saved in case you return to the paid plan later.
AI credit limits from AI policies are replaced by a single organization-level default limit.
Your organization no longer has AI seats, and the seat requirement no longer applies, so all users with AI access can use available AI-powered features if they are within their credit limit.

Manage AI seats

AI seats are purchased together with a paid plan. If you need to grant AI access to more users than you have AI seats, you can buy additional seats.

Buy additional AI seats

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
In the AI seats card, click Buy AI seats.
The JetBrains eStore opens in a new browser tab.
Specify the number of AI seats to add and complete the payment in the JetBrains eStore.
When the payment is complete, close the JetBrains eStore tab to return to JetBrains Console.

After the purchase is processed, new AI seats are added to the organization's shared pool of AI seats, and the total in the AI seats card increases. The new AI seats are automatically assigned to users with AI access who have no AI seats. If there are no such users, the new seats stay in the shared pool.

Manage AI credits

Users and service accounts with AI access can use AI-powered features that consume AI credits.

How much each of them can spend per month is capped by their AI credit limit.

Add AI credits

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, open the JetBrains Central tab to see the number of AI credits available in your organization.
Click Add AI credits to purchase AI credits for your organization.
To complete the purchase, you also need the Manage purchases permission, which is included in the Manage licensing and billing permission.

Access the AI credit usage report

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, open the JetBrains Central tab.
In the upper-right corner of the AI credits card, click View usage report.
This link is visible to anyone who can view this page. Viewing the report additionally requires the View AI analytics permission.
Review the data on the AI credits consumption page. For details, see AI credits consumption.

View AI credits migration details

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, open the JetBrains Central tab.
In the AI credits card, click See migration details.
Review the data on the Migration information page.
The page shows how your licenses and other credit sources were converted to AI credits. For more information, see Converting to a shared pool of AI credits.
The Captured at timestamp shows when the migration snapshot was taken.
The table lists, for each converted credit batch, the Credit type, Source, original Amount, and the resulting number of AI credits, with a Total row at the bottom.
To export this data, click Download in the upper-right corner of the page.
In addition to the columns shown on screen, the downloaded CSV file includes the expiration date for each credit batch. Use it to track when credits from a particular batch will expire.

Set the default credit limit

The AI credits per user per month field sets the default credit limit for every user and service account with AI access, unless another credit limit source applies.

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
On the JetBrains Central tab, change the limit in the AI credits per user per month field and click Save.

Auto-purchase AI credits

You can configure an auto-purchase to automatically buy AI credits on a recurring schedule. The purchased credits are added to your organization's shared credit pool. Each organization can have only one auto-purchase at a time.

AI credits are valid for one year from the purchase date. For example, credits purchased on 1 August 2026 are valid until 31 July 2027, inclusive.

Configure an auto-purchase

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, open the JetBrains Central tab and click Configure auto-purchase.
In the Frequency field, select how often AI credits should be purchased: monthly or yearly.
In the Next date field, select when the first purchase should happen.
For yearly auto-purchases, AI credits are purchased on the same date every year.
For monthly purchases, AI credits are purchased on the same day each month. If the selected day doesn't exist in a given month, the purchase is scheduled on the last valid day of that month instead. Each following date is calculated from the previous purchase date. For example, if you select the 30th of the month, the purchases happen on January 30, February 28 (or 29), then March 28, and so on.
In the Payment method field, select a payment method.
To update your existing payment methods, click Manage payment methods. If no payment method is available, click Create payment method to add a new one.
If you add a payment method in a separate browser tab while this dialog is open, it won't appear in the list until you close and reopen the dialog.
In the Purchase amount field, specify the number of AI credits to purchase in each period. The minimum purchase amount is 5 AI credits.
Click Save.

The configured auto-purchase appears on the AI settings page.

To view or edit the auto-purchase details, click Manage under Auto-purchase card. To remove the auto-purchase, click and select Remove auto-purchase so AI credits are no longer purchased automatically.

Editing is available only if you own the payment method used for the auto-purchase. If the auto-purchase uses another admin's payment method, you can still view and remove it, but not edit it.

Corporate trials

If your organization is eligible, you can activate a corporate trial that includes a limited number of AI credits to evaluate AI-powered features for a trial period. The trial offer becomes available only after you enable AI for the organization.

Trial AI credits are added to your organization's shared credit pool and expire when the trial ends. These credits are shared among all users and service accounts with AI access and consumed before all other AI credits in the pool. The monthly credit limit applies to each user and service account as usual. The AI credit source doesn't affect how the limit is applied.

Activate corporate trial

Expand the AI governance section and select Settings.
If you don't see this page, or the controls on this page are inactive, make sure your role has the necessary permissions permissions.
On the AI settings page, click See trial details in the banner.
In the dialog, review the trial offer, click Activate trial, then click Done.

The trial starts and remains active for its duration. The trial AI credits are added to the organization's shared credit pool and appear on the AI settings and AI access pages in the corresponding cards.

To track your trial AI credit usage and when the credits expire, hover over the Trial active label in the AI credits card on the AI settings page. The tooltip shows the used AI credits, the remaining trial AI credits, and the expiration date.
