Summary

The setGlobalDefaultCachePolicy() GraphQL mutation field is used to set the global default cache policy. This policy will be applied to a repository if neither a repository or organization cache policy is set. This field is not yet available. It's described here as a preview. Cache policies are a limited feature and is subject to change.
