Hi Peter, can you please provide a link to said documentation?

We are reviewing the documentation around agent governance, and we are specifically looking to restrict users from creating agents, but we have not found said built-in method.

    Hi,

    To be honest, things have changed since 2025. However, in general, end users do not need access to Copilot Studio. Only makers require this access. Users interact with an agent through a channel such as Microsoft Teams.
