Best practice for Copilot Studio agents and SharePoint libraries with unique permissions?
Hello MB12345 , I'm curious which method did you use to connect your SharePoint libraries to the agent - one (on top) is a dataverse indexed option while the other (at the bottom) is a live connection? I wonder if the issue is related to this.
I have not worked on cases where library folders/files have complex unique permissions. I'd assume based on the documentation that the agent picks up the content the user has access to. But if that is not working, we'd have to check more.
If there is an opportunity to simplify permissions and restructure (e.g. separate document libraries instead of folders with unique permission), that should always be explored before designing the agent.
sohnash , Thanks for getting back to me. I used the live connection option at the bottom. Although restructuring permissions isn’t currently an option for us, I agree it should be considered for designing the agent.
If there are any workarounds besides granting elevated permissions or recreating the libraries outside the nested structure, we’d be interested in exploring them.
