Child agents and local agents in Copilot Studio

I'm AI administrator, and I have a colleague who've build an agent in Copilot Studio that uses to child agents.

However on his screen they have the relationship "Local" and he can't access them or do anything. When I look at his agent, the sub agents have relationship "Child" and everything works fine. The image down below is what he sees - and the trigger also gets that orange triangle.

 

Have anybody experienced the same? We tried to give another colleague editor permission to the agent, and that colleague experiences the same. They are both sitting at an office in another country than me.

    Hello Feldborg​ , a few questions

    • Is the agent in one of their development environments?
    • Do your colleagues have "Environment Maker" role for the environment?
    • Is the setup using "child agents" or "connected agents"? If it is "connected agents", are they available in the same environment?

      Hi sohnash​, thanks for your response.

       

      The colleague already have all the neccesary roles for the environsment, and the setup is using child agents, which it says on my screen, however on my colleague's screen it says local.
