This is really interesting. Can you clarify how the licensing works here? Can the community admin be licensed for M365 Copilot and set up the agent in the community. Can other community admins (without M365 Copilot license) use the agent's suggestions? If the agent is able to post directly, end users would see the posted results even if they aren't licensed, right?

Yes, that's right, Kevin. If a person has an M365 Copilot license, they will be able to:

  • Activate the agent in the community
  • Review/Edit/Approve/Post the agent's responses

 

All users will be able to see posted results, regardless of license type.
